Modified temperature index model for estimating the melt water discharge from debris-covered Lirung Glacier, Nepal [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Association of Hydrological Sciences, 2015 In the Nepalese Himalayas, the complex topography, occurrence of debris covered glaciers, and limited data availability creates substantial difficulties for modelling glacier melt.

Remote Sensing, 2022 In this study, we applied small baseline subset-interferometric synthetic aperture radar (SBAS-InSAR) to monitor the ground surface deformation from 2017 to 2020 in the permafrost region within an ~400 km × 230 km area covering the northern and southern ...

Elementa: Science of the Anthropocene, 2019 The cryosphere, which comprises a large portion of Earth’s surface, is rapidly changing as a consequence of global climate change. Ice, snow, and frozen ground in the polar and alpine regions of the planet are known to directly impact atmospheric ...

Microplastics in the cryosphere - a potential time bomb?
Water Emerging Contaminants & Nanoplastics, 2023 Microplastics (MPs) have been detected in many parts of the world in snow, hail, sea ice, glaciers, and permafrost. The ubiquity of microplastic around the globe means that there is a need to focus on its circulation dynamics in the Earth's diverse ...

The European mountain cryosphere: a review of its current state, trends, and future challenges
, 2018 . The mountain cryosphere of mainland Europe is recognized to have important impacts on a range of environmental processes. In this paper, we provide an overview on the current knowledge on snow, glacier, and permafrost processes, as well as their past ...

GIS- and field data based modeling of snow water equivalent in shrub tundra
Лëд и снег, 2015 An approach for snow water equivalent (SWE) modelling in tundra environments has been developed for the test area on the Yamal peninsula. Detailed mapping of snow cover is very important for tundra areas under continuous permafrost conditions, because ...
