Remote sensing of the mountain cryosphere: Current capabilities and future opportunities for research

open access: yesProgress in Physical Geography: Earth and Environment, 2021
Remote sensing technologies are integral to monitoring the mountain cryosphere in a warming world. Satellite missions and field-based platforms have transformed understanding of the processes driving changes in mountain glacier dynamics, snow cover, lake

Uncertainty assessment of a permanent long-range terrestrial laser scanning system for the quantification of snow dynamics on Hintereisferner (Austria)

open access: yesFrontiers 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.

Pigment production by cold-adapted bacteria and fungi: colorful tale of cryosphere with wide range applications

open access: yesExtremophiles, 2020
Pigments are an essential part of everyday life on Earth with rapidly growing industrial and biomedical applications. Synthetic pigments account for a major portion of these pigments that in turn have deleterious effects on public health and environment.

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

open access: yesФилософия 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 ...

Status and Change of the Cryosphere in the Extended Hindu Kush Himalaya Region

open access: yesThe Hindu Kush Himalaya Assessment, 2019
The cryosphere is defined by the presence of frozen water in its many forms: glaciers, ice caps, ice sheets, snow, permafrost, and river and lake ice.

Permafrost trapped natural gas in Svalbard, Norway

open access: yesFrontiers 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.

Remote Sensing and Modeling of the Cryosphere in High Mountain Asia: A Multidisciplinary Review

open access: yesRemote Sensing
Over the past decades, the cryosphere has changed significantly in High Mountain Asia (HMA), leading to multiple natural hazards such as rock–ice avalanches, glacier collapse, debris flows, landslides, and glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs). Monitoring
