Surface energy and mass balance of Mera Glacier (Nepal, Central Himalaya) and their sensitivity to temperature and precipitation

Journal of Glaciology
The sensitivity of glacier mass balance to temperature and precipitation variations is crucial for informing models that simulate glaciers’ response to climate change.

Assessment of Glacier Transformation in China over the Past 40 Years Using a China-Specific Glacier Classification System

Remote Sensing
Glacier classification offers a structured framework for assessing glacier characteristics and understanding their responses to climate change. In this study, we apply the Shi–Xie glacier classification system, proposed by Chinese glaciologists Shi and ...

Direct measurements of firn-density evolution from 2016 to 2022 at Wolverine Glacier, Alaska

Journal of Glaciology
Knowledge of snow and firn-density change is needed to use elevation-change measurements to estimate glacier mass change. Additionally, firn-density evolution on glaciers is closely connected to meltwater percolation, refreezing and runoff, which are key

The equilibrium flow and mass balance of the Taku Glacier, Alaska 1950?2006

, 2008
International audienceThe Taku Glacier, Alaska has advanced 7.5 km since the late nineteenth century, while all other primary outlet glaciers of the Juneau Icefield are in retreat. The Juneau Icefield Research Program has completed field work on the Taku

Dispersal and establishment both limit colonization during primary succession on a glacier foreland [PDF]

, 2009
Plant colonization can be limited by lack of seeds or by factors that reduce establishment. The role of seed limitation in community assembly is being increasingly recognized, but in early primary succession, establishment failure is still considered ...

Marine Benthic Habitat Mapping of Muir Inlet, Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve, Alaska With an Evaluation of the Coastal and Marine Ecological Classification Standard III [PDF]

, 2010
Seafloor geology and potential benthic habitats were mapped in Muir Inlet, Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve, Alaska, using multibeam sonar, ground-truth information, and geological interpretations. Muir Inlet is a recently deglaciated fjord that is
