, 2022 Stratospheric aerosol geoengineering, a form of solar geoengineering, is a proposal to add a reflective layer of aerosol to the stratosphere to reduce net radiative forcing and so to reduce the risks of climate change.

The CryosphereDrawing on ethnographic research in High Mountain Asia, the European Alps and the Arctic, we highlight how melting glaciers, shifting precipitation patterns and unstable sea ice reshape livelihoods, mobility and local identities. In the Karakoram, reduced snow fall limits glacier replenishment and undermines water storage; in the Alps, it threatens ...

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 ...

Electrocoalescence of Water Droplets
Plasma, 2023 An experimental setup has been created to study the electrocoalescence of submillimeter- and millimeter-sized water droplets on a hydrophobic dielectric surface. The dependences of the interdroplet distance on the droplet radius are studied.

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.

A Global Cryosphere Watch [PDF]
, 2015 There is now an unprecedented demand for authoritative information on the past, present, and future states of the world’s snow and ice resources. The cryosphere is one of the most useful indicators of climate change, yet is one of the most under-sampled ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
