As climate changes, so do glaciers [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2000 Understanding abrupt climate changes requires detailed spatial/temporal records of such changes, and to make these records, we need rapidly responding, geographically widespread climate trackers. Glacial systems are such trackers, and recent additions to the stratigraphic record show overall synchronous response of glacial systems to climate ...

Climatic controls of glacier distribution and glacier changes in Austria [PDF]
Annals of Glaciology, 2011 AbstractIn this study we aim to connect glacier extent in 1998 with general climatic conditions, and glacier changes between 1969 and 1998 with climate change in the Austrian Alps. The investigations are based on two complete glacier inventories, a homogenized gridded precipitation dataset and European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts re ...
