Assessing glacier changes and hydrological impacts in the upper Indus Basin under CMIP6 climate scenarios. [PDF]
iScienceSummary: Glaciers in the Himalaya are vital for sustaining streamflow in the Upper Indus Basin. This study quantifies future glacier mass and area changes in the Jhelum sub-basin using projections from 13 bias-corrected CMIP6 climate models under SSP245 ...

Permafrost Favorability Index: Spatial Modeling in the French Alps Using a Rock Glacier Inventory
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2017 In the present study we used the first rock glacier inventory for the entire French Alps to model spatial permafrost distribution in the region. The inventory, which does not originally belong to this study, was revised by the authors in order to obtain ...

Assessment of glacier lakes development potential in the Central Caucasus
Лëд и снег, 2020 Glacier mass loss and consequent terminus retreat lead to formation and growth of glacier lakes. In Caucasus outbursts of glacial lakes formed in recent decades have led to human casualties and significant damage. In this study the location and volume of

Monte Carlo ice flow modeling projects a new stable configuration for Columbia Glacier, Alaska, c. 2020 [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2012 Due to the abundance of observational datasets collected since the onset of its retreat (c. 1983), Columbia Glacier, Alaska, provides an exciting modeling target.

A framework for three-dimensional dynamic modeling of mountain glaciers in the Community Ice Sheet Model (CISM v2.2) [PDF]
Geoscientific Model DevelopmentIt is essential to improve our understanding of glaciers and their effects on sea levels, ecosystems, and freshwater resources in a changing climate. To this end, we implemented a framework for three-dimensional, high-resolution, regional-scale glacier ...

Molecular characterization of covRS mutations in M1UK Streptococcus pyogenes
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Group A Streptococcus (GAS) acquires covRS mutations driving a hypervirulent bacterial state, frequently associated with invasive disease‐like necrotizing fasciitis. We demonstrate that the newly emerged M1UK GAS lineage can also acquire these mutations.

Laser‐Induced Graphene from Waste Almond Shells
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Almond shells, an abundant agricultural by‐product, are repurposed to create a fully bioderived almond shell/chitosan composite (ASC) degradable in soil. ASC is converted into laser‐induced graphene (LIG) by laser scribing and proposed as a substrate for transient electronics.

Debris cover effect on the evolution of Northern Caucasus glaciers in the 21st century
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023 More than 13% of the area of the Caucasus glaciers is covered by debris affecting glacier mass balance. Using the Caucasus as example, we introduce a new model configuration that incorporates a physically-based subroutine for the evolution of ...
