Vulnerability assessment and analysis of cryosphere changes in the Western Sichuan Plateau

Arctic, Antarctic, and Alpine Research
A vulnerability assessment model and indicator system for the changes in the cryosphere in the Western Sichuan Plateau are constructed based on the “exposure–sensitivity–adaptive capacity” framework. The model aims to capture the multiple characteristics

Software to Enable Ocean Discoveries: A Case Study With ICESat‐2 and Argo

Geoscience Data Journal, Volume 12, Issue 3, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Increased anthropogenic stressors (e.g., warming, acidification, wildfires, and other extreme events) present complex observational challenges for Earth science, and no one sensor can “do it all”. While many remote sensing technologies are available at present, scientific disciplines are often trained to use only a specific subset, greatly ...

Climate change impacts on the Alpine ecosystem: an overview with focus on the soil

Journal of Forest Science, 2015
The Alpine ecosystem is very sensitive to climatic changes, which have an influence on glaciers, snow, vegetation and soils. The aim of this review is to illustrate the effects of global change on the Alpine soil ecosystem, which is an optimal marker to ...

Developments in Permafrost Science and Engineering in Response to Climate Warming in Circumpolar and High Mountain Regions, 2019–2024

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, Volume 36, Issue 2, Page 167-188, April/June 2025.
ABSTRACT Research in geocryology is currently principally concerned with the effects of climate change on permafrost terrain. The motivations for most of the research are (1) quantification of the anticipated net emissions of CO2 and CH4 from warming and thaw of near‐surface permafrost and (2) mitigation of effects on infrastructure of such warming and

Suitability of ground-based SfM-MVS for monitoring glacial and periglacial processes [PDF]

, 2016
Photo-based surface reconstruction is rapidly emerging as an alternative survey technique to lidar (light detection and ranging) in many fields of geoscience fostered by the recent development of computer vision algorithms such as structure from motion ...

Cryosphere and climate

IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2010
Analysis of current and historical data demonstrates that the cryosphere component are very sensitive to the climate change thus proving its role as the climate indicator. In the process of this a pattern of the changes clearly reflect regional climate characteristics.

Recent Change—Terrestrial Cryosphere [PDF]

, 2015
This chapter compiles and assesses information on recent and current change within the terrestrial cryosphere of the Baltic Sea drainage basin. Findings are based on long-term observations. Snow cover extent (SCE), duration and amount have shown a widespread decrease although there is large interannual and regional variation.

Microbial Ecology of Permafrost Soils: Populations, Processes, and Perspectives

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, Volume 36, Issue 2, Page 245-258, April/June 2025.
ABSTRACT Permafrost microbial research has flourished in the past decades, due in part to improvements in sampling and molecular techniques, but also the increased focus on the permafrost greenhouse gas feedback to climate change and other ecological processes in high latitude and alpine permafrost soils.

Seasonal variation of ice melting on varying layers of debris of Lirung Glacier, Langtang Valley, Nepal [PDF]

Proceedings of the International Association of Hydrological Sciences, 2015
Glaciers in the Himalayan region are often covered by extensive debris cover in ablation areas, hence it is essential to assess the effect of debris on glacier ice melt. Seasonal melting of ice beneath different thicknesses of debris on Lirung Glacier in

Predicting ice flow using machine learning [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
Though machine learning has achieved notable success in modeling sequential and spatial data for speech recognition and in computer vision, applications to remote sensing and climate science problems are seldom considered. In this paper, we demonstrate techniques from unsupervised learning of future video frame prediction, to increase the accuracy of ...
