Warm Island Effect in the Badain Jaran Desert Lake Group Region Inferred from the Accumulated Temperature

Atmosphere, 2020
The Badain Jaran Desert (BJD) is characterized by the coexistence of over 110 perennial lakes and thousands of megadunes in its southeast part. Unlike the cold island effect, we found a special phenomenon of the warm island effect in the lake group ...

Democratizing Glacier Data – Maturity of Worldwide Datasets and Future Ambitions

Frontiers in Climate, 2022
The creation and curation of environmental data present numerous challenges and rewards. In this study, we reflect on the increasing amount of freely available glacier data (inventories and changes), as well as on related demands by data providers, data ...

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.

The Randolph Glacier Inventory: a globally complete inventory of glaciers [PDF]

Journal of Glaciology, 2014
Abstract The Randolph Glacier Inventory (RGI) is a globally complete collection of digital outlines of glaciers, excluding the ice sheets, developed to meet the needs of the Fifth Assessment of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change for estimates of past and future mass balance.

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

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.
