Sensitivity of a distributed temperature-radiation index melt model based on AWS observations and surface energy balance fluxes, Hurd Peninsula glaciers, Livingston Island, Antarctica [PDF]

, 2012
We use an automatic weather station and surface mass balance dataset spanning four melt seasons collected on Hurd Peninsula Glaciers, South Shetland Islands, to investigate the point surface energy balance, to determine the absolute and relative ...

Contrasting impacts of two mesoscale cyclones on the South Shetland Islands' glaciers, northern Antarctic Peninsula

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
This study analyzed the impact of two mesoscale cyclones on the meteorology and glaciology of South Shetland Islands (SSI) glaciers, using in‐situ observations, ERA5 reanalysis data, and high‐resolution weather and glacier mass balance models. Mesoscale cyclones drive temperature drops, heavy snowfall, and strong winds over the SSI, significantly ...

Ku-, X- and C-Band Microwave Backscatter Indices from Saline Snow Covers on Arctic First-Year Sea Ice

Remote Sensing, 2017
In this study, we inter-compared observed Ku-, X- and C-band microwave backscatter from saline 14 cm, 8 cm, and 4 cm snow covers on smooth first-year sea ice.

Debris Thickness of Glaciers in the Everest Area (Nepal Himalaya) Derived from Satellite Imagery Using a Nonlinear Energy Balance Model [PDF]

, 2014
Debris thickness is an important characteristic of debris-covered glaciers in the Everest region of the Himalayas. The debris thickness controls the melt rates of the glaciers, which has large implications for hydrologic models, the glaciers' response to

Environmental changes on the northern Taymyr Peninsula (Russian Arctic) during the last 62 ka inferred from the lacustrine pollen record

Boreas, EarlyView.
Environmental changes on the northern part of Taymyr Peninsula during the last 62 ka were reconstructed based on pollen assemblages throughout a 46‐m‐long sediment core from Lake Levinson‐Lessing (74°27′54″N, 98°39′58″E). Environmental changes on the northern Taymyr Peninsula were reconstructed based on a new pollen record from a 46‐m‐long sediment ...

Opportunities and threats of cryosphere change to the achievement of UN 2030 SDGs

Humanities & Social Sciences Communications
The 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 ...

De Geer moraine internal architecture based on sedimentological and geophysical investigations and implications for ice‐marginal reconstructions

Boreas, EarlyView.
De Geer moraines may act as valuable ice‐marginal indicators; however, to date, their variable mode of formation has presented challenges for this utility. Here, we present sedimentological and ground penetrating radar data of DGMs located in southwest Finland.

Remote Sensing of Snow Cover Using Spaceborne SAR: A Review

Remote Sensing, 2019
The importance of snow cover extent (SCE) has been proven to strongly link with various natural phenomenon and human activities; consequently, monitoring snow cover is one the most critical topics in studying and understanding the cryosphere.

Oscillatory subglacial drainage in the absence of surface melt [PDF]

, 2014
The presence of strong diurnal cycling in basal water pressure records obtained during the melt season is well established for many glaciers. The behaviour of the drainage system outside the melt season is less well understood.
