The energy and mass balance of a continental glacier: Dongkemadi Glacier in central Tibetan Plateau

Scientific Reports, 2018
Understanding glacier mass balance (MB) change under global warming is important to assess the impact of glacier change on water resources. This study evaluated the applicability of a modified distributed surface energy balance model (DSEBM) with 3–h ...

Cooling climate across last interglacial high stands on San Salvador and Great Inagua, The Bahamas

The Depositional Record, EarlyView.
Temperature data comparison with last interglacial mollusc clumped isotope data from this study, as well as from Bermuda (Minnebo et al., 2024; Zhang et al., 2021). The ‘later’ and ‘earlier’ ages within MIS 5e refer to Reef II and Reef I, respectively, for Bahamas data.

Local topography increasingly influences the mass balance of a retreating cirque glacier

The Cryosphere, 2018
. Local topographically driven processes – such as wind drifting, avalanching, and shading – are known to alter the relationship between the mass balance of small cirque glaciers and regional climate.

Carbonate sedimentology: An evolved discipline

The Depositional Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Although admired and examined since antiquity, carbonate sediment and rock research really began with Charles Darwin who, during a discovery phase, studied, documented and interpreted their nature in the mid‐19th century. The modern discipline, however, really began after World War II and evolved in two distinct phases.

Closing the mass budget of a tidewater glacier: the example of Kronebreen, Svalbard

Journal of Glaciology, 2019
In this study, we combine remote sensing, in situ and model-derived datasets from 1966 to 2014 to calculate the mass-balance components of Kronebreen, a fast-flowing tidewater glacier in Svalbard.

Orbital and eustatic control of basin hydrology during the first stage of the Messinian Salinity Crisis

The Depositional Record, EarlyView.
The paleo‐hydrology of the Sorbas Basin (SE Spain) and the wider Mediterranean region during the deposition of the Primary Lower Gypsum (PLG) stage of the Messinian Salinity Crisis, from ~5.97 to ~5.60 Ma, was affected by tectonics, precession‐forced climate oscillations, and eustatic sea‐level change.

High-altitude precipitation controls the mass balance of Pasu Glacier, Karakoram over 2000–2020: A case study based on mass and energy budget

Advances in Climate Change Research
Glaciers in the Karakoram exhibit stability or near-balanced mass changes, in stark contrast to the widespread glacier retreat observed globally. However, the limited availability of observational data, coupled with the lack of in-depth exploration of ...

Extinct Pleistocene carnivores were diurnal and highly active

Ecography, EarlyView.
There is much contention over the causes and correlates of megafaunal extinctions at the end of the Pleistocene. A major role for human impact such as hunting has been discussed widely. If correct, the overkill hypothesis explains not only why large mammals in general were highly prone to extinction but suggests that extinction may have been selective ...

Proximity to seabird colonies and water availability shape moss distributions in Antarctica

Ecography, EarlyView.
Understanding species distributions across Antarctica is crucial for biodiversity conservation under climate change, but continental‐scale analyses of key terrestrial species remain scarce. Here, we modelled distributions of 28 moss species across Antarctica using log‐Gaussian Cox process models and environmental covariates including topographic ...

Divergent projections of future African biome shifts with process‐based and species distribution models

Ecography, EarlyView.
Future climate change is expected to influence ecosystem dynamics and the biogeographic distribution of biomes. Such shifts would have profound impacts on biodiversity and the provision of ecosystem services that are essential for humans. A robust understanding of potential future biome changes is therefore required to inform conservation and ...
