A comparison of glacier melt on debris-covered glaciers in the northern and southern Caucasus [PDF]
, 2011 The glacier coverage in the Caucasus Mountains underwent considerable changes during the last decades. In some regions, the observed reduction in glacier area is comparable to those in the European Alps and the extent of supra-glacial debris increased on

The Global Social and Economic Consequences of Mountain Cryospheric Change
Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2019 The mountain cryosphere provides fresh water and other ecosystem services to half of humanity. The loss of the mountain cryosphere due to global warming is already evident in many parts of the world and has direct implications to people living in ...

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 ...

Catastrophic ice lake collapse in Aram Chaos, Mars
, 2014 Hesperian chaotic terrains have been recognized as the source of outflow channels formed by catastrophic outflows. Four main scenarios have been proposed for the formation of chaotic terrains that involve different amounts of water and single or multiple

Sensitivity of a distributed temperature-radiation index melt model based on AWS observations and surface energy balance fluxes, Hurd Peninsula glaciers, Livingston Island, Antarctica [PDF]
, 2012 We use an automatic weather station and surface mass balance dataset spanning four melt seasons collected on Hurd Peninsula Glaciers, South Shetland Islands, to investigate the point surface energy balance, to determine the absolute and relative ...

Consequences of the 2019 Greenland Ice Sheet Melt Episode on Albedo
Remote Sensing, 2021 In mid-June 2019, the Greenland ice sheet (GrIS) experienced an extreme early-season melt event. This, coupled with an earlier-than-average melt onset and low prior winter snowfall over western Greenland, led to a rapid decrease in surface albedo and ...

KINETICS OF GAS HYDRATES FORMATION AND GROWTH BASED ON MODIFIED ICE
Известия высших учебных заведений: Нефть и газ, 2017 The results of the studies of influence of polyvinylpyrrolidone on the kinetics of formation and the growth of Freon-12 gas hydrate are presented. Based on the P-V-T measurements the degree of conversion of ice into gas hydrate at various concentrations ...
