Neue Ergebnisse zur Gletscher- und Klimageschichte des Spätmittelalters und der Neuzeit [PDF]

Geographica Helvetica
This article contributes to the glacier and climatic fluctuations during the late Middle Ages and the Modern Times. With the aid of radiocarbon dating of fossil woods and a fossil soil (fAh) located in the gletschervorfeld of two glaciers (Glacier de ...

Classification and kinematics of the Planpincieux Glacier break-offs using photographic time-lapse analysis

Journal of Glaciology, 2020
Herein, we present results obtained from time-lapse imagery acquired by a digital single-lens reflex camera during 2014–18 used to monitor the Planpincieux Glacier on the Italian side of the Grandes Jorasses (Mont Blanc massif).

Long-term estimation of glacier mass balance using geospatial techniques in Western Himalayas, Ladakh, India

Quaternary Science Advances, 2023
All glaciers are subject to mass fluctuations in the current context of climate change. For daily requirements like food, drink, irrigation, and the generation of hydroelectric power, these glaciers provide water to important basins including the Indus ...

Alpine glacier resilience and Neoglacial fluctuations linked to Holocene snowfall trends in the western United States

Science Advances, 2020
Alpine lake sediments provide rare 10,000-year glacier record and highlight influence of winter precipitation. Geological evidence indicates that glaciers in the western United States fluctuated in response to Holocene changes in temperature and ...

Widespread and accelerating glacier retreat on the Lyngen Peninsula, northern Norway, since their ‘Little Ice Age’ maximum

Journal of Glaciology, 2018
The recession of mountain glaciers worldwide is increasing global sea level and, in many regions, human activities will have to adapt to changes in surface hydrology.

Holocene glacier fluctuations on the northern flank of Cordillera Darwin, southernmost South America

Quaternary Science Reviews, 2019
Records of past variability afford context for evaluating present-day glacier behavior and for testing hypotheses of climate change. Here, we use 69 radiocarbon dates of wood and other organic materials in association with glacial deposits to document ...

Diurnal fluctuations of glacier surface velocity observed with terrestrial radar interferometry at Laohugou No. 12 Glacier, western Qilian mountains, China

Journal of Glaciology, 2019
Measurements of short-interval variations in glacier surface velocity, which contribute to our understanding of ice motion mechanisms, remain scarce on the Tibetan Plateau.

Multi-decadal elevation changes of the land terminating sector of West Greenland

Journal of Glaciology, 2023
Regional assessments of ice elevation change provide insight into the processes controlling an ice sheet's geometric response to climate forcing. In Southwest Greenland's land terminating sector (SWLTS), it is presumed that ice surface elevation changes ...

The Red Rock ice cliff revisited – six decades of frontal, mass and area changes in the Nunatarssuaq area, Northwest Greenland

Journal of Glaciology, 2020
We present changes of the ice margin in Northwest Greenland at the Eastern part of the Nunatarssuaq Ice Cap (NIC) over six decades. The ice margin in this area terminates as a near-vertical ice cliff of between 9 and 33 m thickness. During the years 1954–

Climate change and its relation to the fluctuation in glacier mass balance in the Cordillera Blanca, Peru: A review

Acta Universitatis Carolinae Geographica, 2018
This review article describes the main probable causes of glacier fluctuations in the Cordillera Blanca since the end of the Little Ice Age. The Cordillera Blanca glaciers reached their last maximum extent during the Little Ice Age and have been ...
