The research station "Vaskiny Dachi", Central Yamal, West Siberia, Russia – a review of 25 years of permafrost studies

Fennia: International Journal of Geography, 2015
The research station "Vaskiny Dachi" on the Yamal Peninsula was established in 1988. Activities aimed at monitoring of permafrost and related environmental features under a relatively low level of nature disturbances caused by gas field development ...

Comparison of passive microwave remote-sensing snow-depth products on Arctic sea ice

Polar Research, 2019
Changes in snow cover on the surface of Arctic sea ice affect the energy balance between the atmosphere and the ocean and play a vital role in the global climate system.

Rheological Controls on Creeping Landslides Within the Franciscan Mélange: Insights From Laboratory Experiments

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 23, 16 December 2025.
Abstract Landslides and tectonic faults exhibit a spectrum of slip behavior, from steady frictional creep to catastrophic failure. However, the mechanisms controlling slow slip, and slip speed more generally, remains unresolved. Here we report on laboratory shearing experiments on natural samples from the localized shear plane of a well‐instrumented ...

The role of the global cryosphere in the fate of organic contaminants [PDF]

, 2012
The cryosphere is an important component of global organic contaminant cycles. Snow is an efficient scavenger of atmospheric organic pollutants while a seasonal snowpack, sea ice, glaciers and ice caps are contaminant reservoirs on time scales ranging ...

Climate change impacts on the Alpine ecosystem: an overview with focus on the soil

Journal of Forest Science, 2015
The Alpine ecosystem is very sensitive to climatic changes, which have an influence on glaciers, snow, vegetation and soils. The aim of this review is to illustrate the effects of global change on the Alpine soil ecosystem, which is an optimal marker to ...

Extending the Surface Energy Budget View on Arctic Atmospheric Rivers: Climatological Classifications and Dependence on the Flavor

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 23, 16 December 2025.
Abstract Atmospheric rivers (ARs) significantly impact the Arctic climate, for example, by modifying the surface energy budget (SEB) and thus impacting sea ice and the Greenland ice sheet. Based on the ERA5 reanalysis, we present new aspects of ARs' impact on the SEB in the central Arctic (>65 ${ >} 65$°N, 1979–2021).

Dominance of grain size impacts on seasonal snow albedo at deforested sites in New Hampshire [PDF]

, 2017
Snow cover serves as a major control on the surface energy budget in temperate regions due to its high reflectivity compared to underlying surfaces.

Trait–Based Adjustments: Key to Improving Model Representation of the Bloom Seasonal Cycle in the Subantarctic Zone

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 23, 16 December 2025.
Abstract Southern Ocean phytoplankton have unique traits that allow them to survive extreme environmental conditions of low iron, light, and temperature. These traits are not well represented in Earth System Models and may lead to misrepresentation of the bloom seasonal cycle in this critical oceanic region.

Geodetic Observations Reveal Near‐Zero Uplift Rates in the Transantarctic Mountains: Implications of Surface Mass Loading Deformation

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 23, 16 December 2025.
Abstract The exposed bedrock of the Transantarctic Mountains (TAM) provides rare opportunity to constrain present‐day Glacial Isostatic Adjustment (GIA) in East Antarctica, with impacts on Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) and other estimates of ice‐mass change.
