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.

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 ...

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 ...

Boreas, 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
Review 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 ...
