Black bear density in Glacier National Park, Montana

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, 2014
We report the first abundance and density estimates for American black bears (Ursus americanus) in Glacier National Park (NP), Montana, USA. We used data from 2 independent and concurrent noninvasive genetic sampling methods—hair traps and bear rubs ...

Nonlinear threshold effects of environmental drivers on vegetation cover in mountain ecosystems: From constraint mechanisms to adaptive management

open access: yesEcological Indicators
Based on a nonlinear theoretical framework, this study systematically reveals the spatiotemporal evolution characteristics of fractional vegetation cover (FVC) in the Qilian Mountains and its environmental constraints, providing scientific support for ...

A seismic analysis of subglacial lake D2 (Subglacial Lake Cheongsuk) beneath David Glacier, Antarctica [PDF]

open access: yesThe Cryosphere
Subglacial lakes beneath Antarctic glaciers are pivotal in advancing our understanding of cryosphere dynamics, basal hydrology, and microbial ecosystems. We investigate the internal structure and physical properties of Subglacial Lake D2 (SLD2), which is

When Do Single‐Species Occupancy Models Outperform Multispecies Models?

open access: yesEcology and Evolution
Occupancy models have become increasingly popular for species monitoring and assessment, in part, because detection/non‐detection data are readily obtained using a variety of methods.

Seismic Imaging of the Arctic Subsea Permafrost Using a Least-Squares Reverse Time Migration Method

open access: yesRemote Sensing
High-resolution seismic imaging allows for the better interpretation of subsurface geological structures. In this study, we employ least-squares reverse time migration (LSRTM) as a seismic imaging method to delineate the subsurface geological structures ...

Environmental gradients shape microbial community structure and ecosystem processes in Antarctic lakes on King George Island

open access: yesScientific Reports
Antarctic lakes are extreme, oligotrophic habitats that contain microbial communities distinct from those of temperate freshwater systems. Our central question was whether these lakes host microbial communities distinct from those of non-Antarctic ...

Treeline displacement may affect lake dissolved organic matter processing at high latitudes and altitudes

open access: yesNature Communications
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 ...

Development of Petrov glacial-lake system (Tien Shan) and outburst risk assessment

open access: yesЛëд и снег, 2015
Global climate warming causes an intensive melting and retreat of glaciers in the Tien Shan mountains. Melting water of glaciers causes overfilling of high mountain lakes.

Changes of Marukh Glacier from 1945 to 2011

open access: yesЛëд и снег, 2015
Field studies have been carried out in summer 2011 at Marukh Glacier located in western part of the Northern Caucasus. The studies included ground-based radio-echo sounding measurements at a frequency of 20 MHz and glacier surface elevation survey using ...

Glacierized headwater streams as aquifer recharge corridors, subarctic Alaska

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2017
Arctic river discharge has increased in recent decades although sources and mechanisms remain debated. Abundant literature documents permafrost thaw and mountain glacier shrinkage over the past decades. Here we link glacier runoff to aquifer recharge via
