The role of differential ablation and dynamic detachment in driving accelerating mass loss from a debris‐covered Himalayan glacier [PDF]

, 2020
Sustained mass loss from Himalayan glaciers is causing supraglacial debris to expand and thicken, with the expectation that thicker debris will suppress ablation and extend glacier longevity.

Mitigating Human–Large Carnivore Conflicts via Time‐Regulated Management of Free‐Ranging Livestock in the Sanjiangyuan Region, China

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
The graphical abstract illustrates the comprehensive workflow of our study, from the deployment of infrared cameras at sites with high activity of four large carnivores, through data collection and assessment of activity patterns, to the prediction of time periods with potential human–large carnivore conflicts and the proposal of corresponding ...

The Importance of Turbulent Fluxes in the Surface Energy Balance of a Debris-Covered Glacier in the Himalayas

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2018
Surface energy balance models are common tools to estimate melt rates of debris-covered glaciers. In the Himalayas, radiative fluxes are occasionally measured, but very limited observations of turbulent fluxes on debris-covered tongues exist to date.

Instruments and methods: hot-water borehole drilling at a high-elevation debris-covered glacier

Journal of Glaciology, 2019
While hot-water drilling is a well-established technique used to access the subsurface of ice masses, drilling into high-elevation (≳ 4000 m a.s.l.) debris-covered glaciers faces specific challenges. First, restricted transport capacity limits individual

An Uncommon Instance of Egyptian Blue in the “Pigmented Intonachino” of the Fishpond Wall Painting From the Roman Villa of Torre di Pordenone (Northeast Italy)

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The increasingly close integration of analytical techniques in the study of Greek and Roman wall paintings has shown that Egyptian blue was a common pigment, widely documented in the production of blue and greenish hues in ancient painted production.

Assessing glacier retreat and landform production at the ‘debris-charged’ snout of Kvíárjökull, Iceland [PDF]

, 2010
Iceland is a critical location for the study of glacier fluctuations and landform production in response to climate change due to its diverse glacial legacy and its archive of aerial photographs that provide accurately dated records of glacier retreat ...

Scottish late-glacial moraines: debris supply, genesis and significance [PDF]

, 2012
A variety of moraine forms were deposited by glaciers during the Loch Lomond Stadial. Study of such moraines and related landforms provides a valuable source of data on patterns of landscape evolution and climatic change. This thesis presents detailed

Out in the cold? A review of Early Middle Palaeolithic settlements in northern Central Europe, age data and geological preconditions for site formation and preservation

Boreas, EarlyView.
The characteristics of settlement of Neanderthals in northern Central Europe during the earlier phases of the Middle Palaeolithic (Marine Isotope Stage 8–6) have been a matter of debate for decades, specifically regarding the population dynamics at such latitudes during the coldest phases. In this paper, we review the known archaeological record of the

Nematodes and rotifers on two Alpine debris-covered glaciers [PDF]

, 2015
Debris-covered glaciers (DCGs) are glaciers whose ablation area is mostly covered by a continuous layer of debris, and are considered to be among the continental glacierized environments richest in life.

DataSheet1_The Causes of Debris-Covered Glacier Thinning: Evidence for the Importance of Ice Dynamics From Kennicott Glacier, Alaska.pdf

, 2021
The cause of debris-covered glacier thinning remains controversial. One hypothesis asserts that melt hotspots (ice cliffs, ponds, or thin debris) increase thinning, while the other posits that declining ice flow leads to dynamic thinning under thick ...
