Mass balance of glacier No. 139 in the basin of Lake Karakul in the Eastern Pamirs

Central Asian Journal of Water Research, 2022
Mountain glaciers, including the poorly examined glaciers of Lake Karakul Basin, are considered the most vulnerable part of the cryosphere directly reacting to the changing climatic conditions.

Impacts of tidewater glacier advance on iceberg habitat

Annals of Glaciology, 2023
Icebergs in proglacial fjords serve as pupping, resting and molting habitat for some of the largest seasonal aggregations of harbor seals (Phoca vitulina richardii) in Alaska.

Worldwide Assessment of National Glacier Monitoring and Future Perspectives

Mountain Research and Development, 2019
It is widely accepted that glaciers are retreating throughout the world and that their decline causes serious impacts on many societies. Knowledge of glacier distribution and quantification of glacier changes is crucial to assessing the impact of glacier

Underwater Acoustic Ecology Metrics in an Alaska Marine Protected Area Reveal Marine Mammal Communication Masking and Management Alternatives

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2018
Vessel-generated underwater noise can affect humpback whales, harbor seals, and other marine mammals by decreasing the distance over which they can communicate and detect predators and prey.

Species conflict at Earth’s edges – Contests, climate, and coveted resources

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Direct conflict between species is an infrequently witnessed biological phenomenon. Potential drivers of such contests can include climate change, especially at Earth’s high elevation and latitudinal extremes where temperatures warm 2–5 times faster than

Changing drivers of regional large magnitude avalanche frequency throughout Colorado, USA [PDF]

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences
Large magnitude snow avalanches (destructive size ≥ D3) impact settlements, transportation corridors, and public safety worldwide. In Colorado, United States, avalanches have killed more people than any other natural hazard since 1950.

Imprints of sea ice, wind patterns, and atmospheric systems on summer water isotope signatures at Hercules Névé, East Antarctica [PDF]

The Cryosphere
This study investigated the influence of summer climate variability on water isotopes (δ18O, δ2H, and deuterium excess[dexc]) in a Hercules Névé ice core from Antarctica.

Local topography increasingly influences the mass balance of a retreating cirque glacier [PDF]

The Cryosphere, 2018
Local topographically driven processes – such as wind drifting, avalanching, and shading – are known to alter the relationship between the mass balance of small cirque glaciers and regional climate.
