I. On the descent of glaciers [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society of LondonIf we conceive two bodies of the same form and dimensions (cubes for instance), and of the same material, to be placed upon a uniform horizontal plane, and connected by a substance which alternately extends and contracts itself, as does a metallic rod when subjected to variations of temperature, it is evident that by the extension of the intervening ...

Journal of Glaciology, 2019 Karakoram glaciers experienced balanced or slightly positive mass budgets since at least the 1970s. Here, we provide an update on the state of balance of Central and Eastern Karakoram glaciers (12 000 km2) between 2008 and 2016 by differencing DEMs ...

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.A chitosan‐graft‐gelatin hydrogel, incorporating a pH‐responsive dye, bromothymol blue, as a colorimetric freshness indicator is introduced to monitor the spoilage of chicken breasts. The hydrogel indicates microbial activity, and the production of carbon dioxide due to deteriorating food freshness via a change in pH, and serves as a smart and visual ...

Glacier Change, Concentration, and Elevation Effects in the Karakoram Himalaya, Upper Indus Basin [PDF]
, 2011 In recent decades the consequences of climate change for Himalayan glaciers has become of great concern. Glaciers in much of High Asia appear to be declining, some at globally extreme rates (Ageta 2001;Oerlemanns 2001).

Direct observations of submarine melt and subsurface geometry at a tidewater glacier
Science, 2019 Underwater melting How fast does warm ocean water melt glaciers that terminate in the sea? That question is central to understanding how fast ice sheets may lose mass, and thus how fast sea level will rise, in response to global warming, but there are ...

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

Inferring Ice Thickness from a Glacier Dynamics Model and Multiple Surface Datasets [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 The future behavior of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) may have a major impact on future climate. For instance, ice sheet melt may contribute significantly to global sea level rise. Understanding the current state of WAIS is therefore of great interest. WAIS is drained by fast-flowing glaciers which are major contributors to ice loss.
