Climate change induced shifts in treeline position, both towards higher altitudes and latitudes induce changes in soil organic matter. Eventually, soil organic matter is transported to alpine and subarctic lakes with yet unknown consequences for ...

Vorstoss und Rückzug der Gletscher während der Kleinen Eiszeit [PDF]
The Little Ice Age in Europe (between about 1350 and 1850) marked the largest glacier extent over the entire Holocene period. Although several authors have investigated the causes of the substantial glacier advances in the mid-19th century and the rapid retreat following this phase, a conclusive insight linking all relevant components is still lacking.

Kennicott Glacier, Alaska: Ice Thickness Measurements using Ground Penetrating Radar (and Inexperienced Skiiers) [PDF]
What happens when you send a professor, a mentor, and seven inexperienced undergraduates into the field? Dr. Erin Pettit and UAF graduate student Christina Carr led myself and six other undergraduates onto Kennicott Glacier in hopes of teaching us about

Asynchronous glacier dynamics during the Antarctic Cold Reversal in central Patagonia [PDF]
We present 14 new 10Be cosmogenic nuclide exposure ages quantifying asynchronous readvances during the Antarctic Cold Reversal from glaciers in the Baker Valley region of central Patagonia.

Évolution recente des glaciers du Vignemale (2013-2017)
[fr] Les glaciers d’Ossoue, du Petit Vignemale et des Oulettes sont les trois derniers glaciers du massif du Vignemale. Le plus grand d’entre eux, le glacier d’Ossoue, est l’un des mieux documentés dans les Pyrénées.

Using the surface profiles of modern ice masses to inform palaeo-glacier reconstructions [PDF]
Morphometric study of modern ice masses is useful because many reconstructions of glaciers traditionally draw on their shape for guidance Here we analyse data derived from the surface profiles of 200 modern ice masses-valley glaciers icefields ice caps ...

AbstractIsotropic points are structurally stable features of any complicated field of stress or strain-rate, and therefore will almost always be present on the surface of a glacier. A given isotropic point for strain-rate will belong to one of six different classes, depending on the pattern (lemon, star, or monstar) of principal directions and the ...

Sub-kilometer Precipitation Datasets for Snowpack and Glacier Modeling in Alpine Terrain
Capturing the spatial and temporal variability of precipitation at fine scale is necessary for high-resolution modeling of snowpack and glacier mass balance in alpine terrain.
