Future high-mountain hydrology: a new parameterization of glacier retreat [PDF]

Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2010
Abstract. Climate warming is expected to significantly affect the runoff regime of mountainous catchments. Simple methods for calculating future glacier change in hydrological models are required in order to efficiently project economic impacts of changes in the water cycle over the next decades.

Seasonal Predictions and Their Applications in the Mediterranean Region: Part II—Prediction‐Based Services

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
This review explores climate predictions as actionable decision‐making tools, focusing on the Mediterranean. It examines transforming forecasts into user‐defined information through bias adjustment, downscaling and impact models. Highlighting collaborative EU initiatives, it addresses challenges like limited forecasting skill and data accessibility ...

Holocene sea‐level and environmental changes on the Isle of Mull, Scotland

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sea‐level and coastal changes are reconstructed on the Isle of Mull, western Scotland, from 10 988 to 10 507 cal BP to the present. This research has produced the first SLIP for the Isle of Mull. A multiproxy approach including pollen, spore, foraminifera and diatom analyses reveals palaeoenvironmental changes from two coastal sites.

An assessment of basin-scale glaciological and hydrological sensitivities in the Hindu Kush–Himalaya

Annals of Glaciology, 2016
Glacier responses to future climate change will affect hydrology at sub-basin scales. The main goal of this study is to assess glaciological and hydrological sensitivities of sub-basins throughout the Hindu Kush-Himalaya region.

Simultaneous drainage events from supraglacial lakes on the southern Inylchek Glacier, Central Asia

Journal of Glaciology, 2022
To understand the mechanism of simultaneous drainage event related to supraglacial lakes on a debris-covered glacier, we investigated water-level variations of supraglacial lakes on the southern Inylchek Glacier in Kyrgyzstan. To examine these variations,

From Ice to Isolation: A geochemical reconstruction of the palaeoenvironmental evolution of Gairloch, NW Scotland (UK), since the Last Glacial Maximum

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Complex relative sea‐level (RSL) changes are associated with the deglaciation of the British and Irish Ice Sheet (BIIS). Sediment archives from Loch Bad na h‐Achlaise, an isolation basin in NW Scotland, UK, span Late Glacial to Holocene time and record sea‐level change and ice proximity via a geochemical and biostratigraphic multiproxy ...

The dual role of meltwater in buffering river runoff in the Yarlung Zangbo Basin, Tibetan Plateau

Journal of Hydrology: Regional Studies
Study region: The Yarlung Zangbo Basin (YZB) on the Tibetan Plateau, the world's highest river basin, features a significant cryosphere with glaciers and seasonal snow cover crucial to its hydrology.

Decoupling climate and human impacts on the nitrogen cycle during the Irish Bronze Age

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Disentangling climate variability and human activity in past nitrogen cycling is key to understanding ecosystems. Previous studies in Ireland observed a widespread, permanent shift in terrestrial nitrogen cycling during Later Prehistory, potentially linked to intensifying land‐use.

Advances in understanding subglacial meltwater drainage from past ice sheets

Annals of Glaciology, 2022
Meltwater drainage beneath ice sheets is a fundamental consideration for understanding ice–bed conditions and bed-modulated ice flow, with potential impacts on terminus behavior and ice-shelf mass balance.

Permafrost Mass Wasting in Ice‐Rich Landscapes: Recent Advances (2013 to 2024) on Mechanisms, Dynamics and Impacts

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Across circumpolar permafrost regions, climate change is destabilizing ice‐rich hillslopes, increasing the frequency and magnitude of thaw‐driven mass wasting. This paper reviews recent studies (2013–2024) on thaw‐driven mass wasting, focusing on the processes, morphology and trajectories of geomorphic change and their implications for ...
