Cryodiversity: the World of Cold on the Earth and in the Solar System [PDF]

open access: yesФилософия и космология, 2018
Effects and objects associated with the cryosphere, the world of cold, are extremely diverse due to anomalous thermodynamic and electromagnetic properties of ice, intermediate strength of hydrogen bonds, broad occurrence of cryogenic systems, and ...

Flow‐pattern evolution of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet indicated by the subglacial lineation record over Norway, Sweden and Finland

open access: yesBoreas, EarlyView.
We present a 25‐stage reconstruction of the ice‐flow pattern evolution of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet based on mapping and analysis of ~240 000 subglacial lineations and lineation fields across Norway, Sweden, Finland, and parts of NW Russia. Our reconstruction uses a glacial geomorphological inversion approach, in which we generated 611 individual ...

The source‐to‐sea nexus between water and ocean law: An international and EU perspective

open access: yesReview of European, Comparative &International Environmental Law, EarlyView.
Abstract The source‐to‐sea (S2S) approach provides a systemic framework for analysing the governance of naturally interconnected freshwater and marine ecosystems. This paper examines the extent to which the S2S approach is reflected in key international and EU water and ocean law instruments, as well as the legal and governance implications of said ...

Ku-, X- and C-Band Microwave Backscatter Indices from Saline Snow Covers on Arctic First-Year Sea Ice

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2017
In this study, we inter-compared observed Ku-, X- and C-band microwave backscatter from saline 14 cm, 8 cm, and 4 cm snow covers on smooth first-year sea ice.

Permafrost trapped natural gas in Svalbard, Norway

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2023
Permafrost is widespread in the High Arctic, including the Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard. The uppermost permafrost intervals have been well studied, but the processes at its base and the impacts of the underlying geology have been largely overlooked.

Situating the ICJ's advisory opinion in the wider ecosystem of international climate litigation

open access: yesReview of European, Comparative &International Environmental Law, EarlyView.
Abstract Although international climate cases are a relatively recent phenomenon, the International Court of Justice's (ICJ) climate advisory opinion enters an increasingly well‐populated ecosystem of international climate jurisprudence. The ICJ's ruling, along with those of the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea (ITLOS) and the Inter ...

The effect of “annealing” on the specific crushing energy of the layered frozen ice.

open access: yesЛëд и снег
The paper demonstrates realization of an experimental method of shock destruction of ice in order to study its specific energy of destruction and strength under various annealing conditions. Ice was prepared by layer-by layer freezing of distilled water.
