A multi-level strategy for anticipating future glacier lake formation and associated hazard potentials [PDF]

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2010
In the course of glacier retreat, new glacier lakes can develop. As such lakes can be a source of natural hazards, strategies for predicting future glacier lake formation are important for an early planning of safety measures.

Heat, Health and Holidays: Reported Heat Related Adjustments to Australian Tourist Behaviour

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
This study assessed how climate‐related hazards affect Australian tourists' travel planning. While 80% of tourists report no impact, the 20% who do experience disruption most commonly change their activities, timing, or destination, with heat and rain affecting the same proportion of tourists across beach, city, nature, and family tourism types ...

Compound Meteorological and Hydrological Hot‐Dry and Hot‐Wet Extremes Over Global Land Areas: Spatiotemporal Changes, Attribution, and Drivers

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
The changes in joint return period of compound meteorological hot‐dry (CMHHE) and hot‐wet (CMHWE) and compound hydrological hot‐dry (CHHDE) and hot‐wet (CHHWE) extremes were attributed to changes in associated univariate extremes and their dependence.

Optimising Sulphur Fertilisation in Ryegrass–White Clover Swards Reduces Leached Nitrate Nitrogen Losses, While Increasing Plant Yield and Nitrogen Off‐Take

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
The inclusion of sulphur at two inorganic nitrogen rates (0 and 150 kg N ha−1) improves plant productivity in a ryegrass–white clover sward and reduces nitrate‐N loss to groundwater in a free‐draining sandy loam soil. ABSTRACT Background Reducing nitrogen (N) losses to water, lessening reliance on inorganic fertiliser and maintaining agricultural ...

Quantifying user variability in the traditional X‐ray ice‐rafted‐debris counting technique

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The flux of icebergs is most commonly constrained in the palaeo‐record by manually counting gravel clasts in sediment core X‐ray images—a trusted method in Quaternary science and palaeoceanography for nearly 40 years. In this study, we explore the reproducibility (user consistency and between‐user variability) of the traditional clast‐counting

Monitoring Glacier Debris Flows and Dammed Lakes Using Multiple Satellite Images in the Badswat Watershed, Northern Karakoram

Remote Sensing
Glacier mass loss driven by climate change has increased glacier-related hazards, including glacier debris flows, and poses growing threats to downstream communities.

Comparative Analysis of Different Remote Sensing Techniques for Mapping of Supraglacial Lakes on Hispar Glacier [PDF]

International Journal of Economic and Environment Geology, 2018
The glacier changes are very significant in quantifying the direct effects of climate change. The glaciers in the northern Pakistan especially in the Karakoram pose a large change in relief and are difficult to access due to complex topography.

Insect communities of late Pleistocene steppe–tundra and Holocene boreal forest ecosystems in central Yukon Territory, Canada

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Subfossil insect communities from the Quartz Creek site provide a detailed record of both Late Pleistocene steppe–tundra and Holocene boreal forest ecosystems in central Yukon Territory, Canada. Fifteen Pleistocene assemblages (marine isotope stages [MIS] 4 to 2) are dominated by steppe–tundra and dry‐tundra taxa, particularly the weevils ...

Biotic Acceleration of Glacier Melting in Yala Glacier 9 Langtang Region, Nepal Himalaya

, 2020
In some Himalayan glaciers, the microbial production on the glacier surface is so large during the monsoon season that the surface of the ablation area is covered with a dark coloured mud-like material which mainly consists of algae and bacteria.
