Nitrate stable isotopes and major ions in snow and ice samples from four Svalbard sites [PDF]
Increasing reactive nitrogen (N-r) deposition in the Arctic may adversely impact N-limited ecosystems. To investigate atmospheric transport of N-r to Svalbard, Norwegian Arctic, snow and firn samples were collected from glaciers and analysed to define ...

The impact of ice layers on gas transport through firn at the North Greenland Eemian Ice Drilling (NEEM) site, Greenland [PDF]
Typically, gas transport through firn is modeled in the context of an idealized firn column. However, in natural firn, imperfections are present, which can alter transport dynamics and therefore reduce the accuracy of reconstructed climate records.

Investigating firn structure and density in the accumulation area of the Grosser Aletschgletscher using ground-penetrating radar [PDF]
The role of firn structure and density in geodetic glacier mass balance estimation has been constrained, with studies in alpine conditions primarily relying on models.

Firn-air Modelling in the Community Firn Model
Abstract: Over the last glacial period, a series of 25 climate fluctuations were observed, characterized by rapid warming followed by a longer cooling period. One of these Dansgaard-Oescher (D-O) events happened around 11,500 years ago and heralded the end of the ice age and the beginning of the Holocene period.

Seasonal deuterium excess in a Tien Shan ice core: Influence of moisture transport and recycling in Central Asia [PDF]
Stable water isotope (δ18O, δD) data from a high elevation (5100 masl) ice core recovered from the Tien Shan Mountains, Kyrgyzstan, display a seasonal cycle in deuterium excess (d = δD − 8*δ18O) related to changes in the regional hydrologic cycle during ...

Melt regimes, internal stratigraphy, and flow dynamics of three glaciers in the Alaska Range [PDF]
We used ground-penetrating radar (GPR), GPS and glaciochemistry to evaluate melt regimes and ice depths, important variables for mass-balance and ice-volume studies, of Upper Yentna Glacier, Upper Kahiltna Glacier and the Mount Hunter ice divide, Alaska.

Development of an atmospheric N2O isotopocule model and optimization procedure, and application to source estimation [PDF]
This paper presents the development of an atmospheric N2O isotopocule model based on a chemistry-coupled atmospheric general circulation model (ACTM). We also describe a simple method to optimize the model and present its use in estimating the isotopic ...

A cold laboratory hyperspectral imaging system to map grain size and ice layer distributions in firn cores [PDF]
The Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets are covered in a layer of porous firn. Knowledge of firn structure improves our understanding of ice sheet mass balance, supra- and englacial hydrology, and ice core paleoclimate records.

Firn Evolution at Camp Century, Greenland: 1966–2100
Camp Century is an American military base built in 1959 under the surface of the Greenland ice sheet and decommissioned in 1967. Here, we use outputs from RACMO2.3p2 and CanESM2 climate models, adjusted to meteorological observations, and a firn model to

Radioglaciological studies on Hurd Peninsula glaciers, Livingston Island, Antarctica [PDF]
We present the results of several radio-echo sounding surveys carried out on Johnsons and Hurd Glaciers, Livingston Island, Antarctica, between the 1999/2000 and 2004/05 austral summer campaigns, which included both radar profiling and common-midpoint ...
