Dynamics of the spatiotemporal velocity of glaciers on the eastern slope of Mount Gongga, China, under climate change

Advances in Climate Change Research
The quantitative assessment of glacier flow velocity dynamics plays a pivotal role in understanding its response mechanisms concerning climate warming. This work provides a systematic quantitative assessment of the deceleration status of glaciers in this

Critical constraints to ecological buffering in a rapidly changing Arctic: A long‐term seabird study

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Drawing on two decades of research in East Greenland, this study shows that little auks, key seabird indicators of Arctic ecosystem health, can adapt to rapid environmental change through behavioural flexibility. However, increasing storms and mercury pollution are pushing resilience to its limits, providing an early warning of broader Arctic ...

Whole‐Genome Sequencing and Resequencing of Hucho bleekeri Provides Insights into Genetic Mechanisms of Environmental Adaptation

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
A high‐quality chromosome‐level reference genome was constructed for Hucho bleekeri. Population structure and environmental adaptation of Hucho species were revealed by whole‐genome resequencing. ABSTRACT Salmonidae represents an important family in the study of genome evolution following genome duplication.

Out in the cold? A review of Early Middle Palaeolithic settlements in northern Central Europe, age data and geological preconditions for site formation and preservation

Boreas, EarlyView.
The characteristics of settlement of Neanderthals in northern Central Europe during the earlier phases of the Middle Palaeolithic (Marine Isotope Stage 8–6) have been a matter of debate for decades, specifically regarding the population dynamics at such latitudes during the coldest phases. In this paper, we review the known archaeological record of the

Ice Flow Measurements on the East Coast of Lutzow-Holm Bay, Antarctica (Reports of the Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition)

Antarctic Record, 1972
An attempt was made at the measurements of surface velocities of ice flow in several places along the east coast of Lutzow-Holm Bay in 1960 and 1961. Difficulties in preserving stakes and in selecting suitable sites for surveying and the limited time ...

Refining the timing of Middle Pleistocene (MIS 12 to MIS 6) ice advances into northern central Europe: sedimentological analysis and single‐grain luminescence dating of glaciotectonic complexes and tunnel‐valley fills

Boreas, EarlyView.
We summarize the current state of knowledge on the age of the Middle Pleistocene ice advances into northern central Europe and provide 25 new single‐grain feldspar luminescence ages of Elsterian and Saalian glacigenic sediments to constrain the age of the ice advances and their tentative correlation with marine isotope stages/substages.

Assessing the catastrophic break-up of Briksdalsbreen, Norway, associated with rapid climate change

, 2011
Recent research has raised concerns about the potential influence of rapid climate change on the stability of major ice sheets. The behaviour of glaciers is determined largely by the processes and conditions operating at their base.

Geochemical and granulometric fingerprints of 8200 years of westerly wind variability in inner‐fjord lake sediments from Svalbard

Boreas, EarlyView.
The Arctic is warming faster than any other region on Earth. As sea ice diminishes, the surface boundary conditions, such as roughness and air–sea coupling, change and open‐water fetch increases. This may enhance wind forcing on Arctic coasts. Lake sediments can record these changes through the deposition of wind‐blown grains and elements, offering ...

Lead isotope evidence for Antarctic Ice Sheet changes in the Weddell Sea sector since the Last Glacial Maximum

Boreas, EarlyView.
The Weddell Sea influences global ocean circulation and sea level through modulating Antarctic Bottom Water formation and Antarctic Ice Sheet discharges, but the history of ice‐sheet dynamics in this region remains poorly constrained due to limited well‐dated geological records.

Deduction of Glacier Flow from the Distribution of Elongated Bubbles

, 1979
The elongation of air bubbles discovered in a wide area of a glacier surface covered by supraglacial debris does not coincide with the direction of flow.
