The Glacier Complexes of the Mountain Massifs of the North-West of Inner Asia and their Dynamics [PDF]
, 2011 The subject of this paper is the glaciation of the mountain massifs Mongun-Taiga, Tavan-Boghd-Ola, Turgeni- Nuru, and Harhira-Nuru. The glaciation is represented mostly by small forms that sometimes form a single complex of domeshaped peaks ...

Comparing firn temperature profile retrieval based on the firn densification model and microwave data over the Antarctica [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information SciencesThe firn temperature is a crucial parameter for understanding firn densification processes of the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS). Simulations with firn densification models (FDM) can be conceptualized as a function that relies on forcing data, comprising ...

Characterizing near-surface firn using the scattered signal component of the glacier surface return from airborne radio-echo sounding [PDF]
, 2016 We derive the scattered component (hereafter referred to as the incoherent component) of glacier surface echoes from airborne radio-echo sounding measurements over Devon Ice Cap, Arctic Canada, and compare the scattering distribution to firn stratigraphy

Menn es im Thale regnet, schneit es droben in den hohern Theilen des Gebirges und im Winter fallt dort der Schnee 20 bis 30 Fus dick, so hoch wie ein Haus. Wahrend des Sommers thaut zwar eine gute Menge davon wieder weg, aber bei Weitem nicht Alles. Es bleibt dem Winterkonig, der dort droben residirt, immer noch eine hubsche Menge Erspartes ubrig.

Response of Glacier Melt and Discharge to Future Climate Change, Susitna Basin, Alaska [PDF]
, 2014 A large dam for hydropower with a 67 km long reservoir is proposed in the Susitna basin, leading to multiple studies of the basin. This study focuses on the response of climate change of the Susitna basin glaciers and the effects on basin ...
