The Melting ‘Crown of the Continent’: Visual History of Glacier National Park [PDF]

, 2018
Glacier National Park (GNP), located in northwest Montana, US, was signed into existence on 11 May 1910 by then President William Howard Taft. Conservationist George Bird Grinnell was instrumental in lobbying for the park’s creation and negotiated the ...

The role of glacier mice in the invertebrate colonisation of glacial surfaces: the moss balls of the Falljökull, Iceland [PDF]

, 2012
Glacier surfaces have a surprisingly complex ecology. Cryoconite holes contain diverse invertebrate communities while other invertebrates, such as Collembola often graze on algae and windblown dead organic on the glacier surface.

Accurate simulation of ice and snow runoff for the mountainous terrain of the Kunlun Mountains, China [PDF]

, 2020
While mountain runoff provides great potential for the development and life quality of downstream populations, it also frequently causes seasonal disasters.

Glacier recession since the Little Ice Age: Implications for water storage in a Rocky Mountain landscape

Arctic, Antarctic, and Alpine Research, 2019
Glaciers have significant influence on hydrology, vegetation, and wildlife in mountainous regions, and are receding globally. To quantify the impacts of sustained glacier loss, we mapped a complete set of glacier areas from the Little Ice Age (LIA) using

Surface elevation changes during 2007–13 on Bowdoin and Tugto Glaciers, northwestern Greenland

Journal of Glaciology, 2016
To quantify recent thinning of marine-terminating outlet glaciers in northwestern Greenland, we carried out field and satellite observations near the terminus of Bowdoin Glacier.

Assessing the influence of the Merzbacher Lake outburst floods on discharge using the hydrological model SWIM in the Aksu headwaters, Kyrgyzstan/NW China [PDF]

, 2013
Glacial lake outburst floods (GLOF) often have a significant impact on downstream users. Including their effects in hydrological models, identifying past occurrences and assessing their potential impacts are challenges for hydrologists working in ...

Distinct characteristics and mechanisms of two tidewater glaciers exhibiting velocity anomalies in western Svalbard

GIScience & Remote Sensing
Svalbard hosts numerous tidewater glaciers whose dynamic responses are critical to polar environmental change and global sea-level rise. This study investigates Tunabreen glacier and Osbornebreen glacier in Svalbard using multi-source remote sensing data

The spatial variation of Asian dust and marine aerosol contributions to glaciochemical signals in central Asia [PDF]

, 1992
Short-term (6 months to 17 years) glaciochemical records have been collected from several glacier basins in the mountains of central Asia. The spatial distribution of snow chemistry in central Asia is controlled by the influx of dust from the large ...
