Geophysical Research Letters, 2022 Permafrost degradation is rapidly increasing in response to a warming Arctic climate, altering landscapes and damaging critical infrastructure. Solutions for monitoring permafrost thaw dynamics are essential to understand biogeochemical feedbacks as well

Loss and Damage in the mountain cryosphere [PDF]
Regional Environmental Change, 2018 The mountain cryosphere, which includes glaciers, permafrost, and snow, is one of the Earth’s systems most strongly affected by climate change. In recent decades, changes in the cryosphere have been well documented in many high-mountain regions. While there are some benefits from snow and ice loss, the negative impacts, including from glacier lake ...

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.

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 ...

Cryosphere Services to Support SDGs in High Mountains
Sustainability, 2022 The cryosphere is able to provide a variety of services for the benefit of human well-being and underpins regional sustainable development. The cryosphere deterioration induced by climate change is impacting the services and will subsequently impede the ...

The Disappearing Cryosphere: Impacts and Ecosystem Responses to Rapid Cryosphere Loss [PDF]
BioScience, 2012 The cryosphere—the portion of the Earth's surface where water is in solid form for at least one month of the year—has been shrinking in response to climate warming. The extents of sea ice, snow, and glaciers, for example, have been decreasing. In response, the ecosystems within the cryosphere and those that depend on the cryosphere have been changing ...

Stochastic forecasting of the state of the soil under the roadbed [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2019 The stochastic forecasting method was used to simulate the state of the soil under the roadbed for a period of four years. It is shown that the probability of finding soil in the thawed state with a thermal insulator is 0% and without a thermal insulator

Land, 2023 Water storage (WS) is a crucial terrestrial ecosystems service function. In cold alpine regions (CAR), the cryosphere elements are important solid water resources, but the existing methods for quantitatively assessing WS usually ignore cryosphere ...

Biology, 2022 The importance of cold-water blue carbon as biological carbon pumps that sequester carbon into ocean sediments is now being realised. Most polar blue carbon research to date has focussed on deep water, yet the highest productivity is in the shallows ...
