Predicting potential Arctic kelp distribution and lower‐depth biomass from seafloor irradiance
Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.Abstract Kelps have an extensive distribution in Arctic coastal waters. However, quantifying their role in the Arctic food web and carbon cycle is challenged by the scarcity of documented geographical distribution, standing stocks and production. Here we present a framework based on an empirical function to predict the potential kelp distribution and ...

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023 A permanently installed terrestrial laser scanner (TLS) helps to investigate surface changes at high spatio-temporal resolution. Previous studies show that the annual and seasonal glacier volume, and subsequently the mass balance, can be measured by TLSs.

Oikos, EarlyView.Behavioural plasticity is likely to influence how individuals continue to access resources under rapid climate change. Plasticity will be particularly important at highly dynamic, prey‐rich foraging areas such as upwelling fronts of marine‐terminating glaciers in the high Arctic, where profitability varies significantly across space and time ...

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

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Long‐term time series on changes in the cryosphere are becoming increasingly important. This study presents data from 20 years of ground temperature monitoring from the eastern‐most confirmed permafrost site in the European Alps (Hochreichart, Austria) spanning the period 2004–2024.

Opportunities and threats of cryosphere change to the achievement of UN 2030 SDGs
Humanities & Social Sciences CommunicationsThe cryosphere plays a critical role in maintaining the stability of the social-ecological system, but rapid cryosphere changes have been and are wide-ranging and have a profound affect, even threatening the achievement of the UN’s 2030 sustainable ...

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Across circumpolar permafrost regions, climate change is destabilizing ice‐rich hillslopes, increasing the frequency and magnitude of thaw‐driven mass wasting. This paper reviews recent studies (2013–2024) on thaw‐driven mass wasting, focusing on the processes, morphology and trajectories of geomorphic change and their implications for ...

Permafrost trapped natural gas in Svalbard, Norway
Frontiers 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.
