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

Accuracy of UAV Photogrammetry in Glacial and Periglacial Alpine Terrain: A Comparison With Airborne and Terrestrial Datasets

Frontiers in Remote Sensing, 2022
Unoccupied Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) equipped with optical instruments are increasingly deployed in high mountain environments to investigate and monitor glacial and periglacial processes.

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.

Changes in Imja Tsho in the Mount Everest Region of Nepal [PDF]

, 2014
Imja Tsho, located in the Sagarmatha ( Everest) National Park of Nepal, is one of the most studied and rapidly growing lakes in the Himalayan range. Compared with previous studies, the results of our sonar bathymetric survey conducted in September of ...

Variability and change in the Canadian cryosphere [PDF]

Climatic Change, 2012
Abstract During the International Polar Year (IPY), comprehensive observational research programs were undertaken to increase our understanding of the Canadian polar cryosphere response to a changing climate. Cryospheric components considered were snow, permafrost, sea ice, freshwater ice, glaciers and ice shelves. Enhancement of conventional

Sensitivity of near‐surface marine winds and wind stress in coastal Antarctica to regional atmospheric model configuration

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Marine winds near coastal Antarctica are important for sea‐ice variability and ocean circulation. We test the sensitivity of simulated winds to varying uncertain aspects of the atmospheric model configuration. Winds (each configuration a coloured solid line in the figure) are sensitive to model physics, and notably we find that wind stress over a ...
