Glacier mass variation and its effect on surface runoff in the Beida River catchment during 1957–2013

open access: yesJournal of Glaciology, 2017
Using in-situ measured data from Qiyi Glacier, in combination with meteorological and run-off data from stations, a distributed degree-day model was developed for 631 investigated glaciers in the Beida River catchment to explore glacier mass change and ...

Harnessing the Interfacial Activity of Soluble Faba Protein‐Tannic Acid Conjugates for Enhanced Lipid Oxidative Stability of Oil‐in‐Water Emulsions

open access: yesJournal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In oil‐in‐water emulsions, lipid oxidation begins at the interface between the two phases. One strategy to slow down this process is to place antioxidants at the interface, where they can directly block oxidative reactions. This study explored that idea by conjugating soluble faba bean protein with tannic acid using the free‐radical grafting ...

Calving laws and where to find them

open access: yesJournal of Glaciology
Calving from tidewater glaciers and ice shelves is an important component of global mass balance and may contribute significantly to future sea-level rise.

Finite element analysis of feeding in red and gray squirrels (Sciurus vulgaris and Sciurus carolinensis)

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Invasive gray squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis) have replaced the native red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris) across much of Great Britain over the last century. Several factors have been proposed to underlie this replacement, but here we investigated the potential for dietary competition in which gray squirrels have better feeding performance than ...

Improved representation of laminar and turbulent sheet flow in subglacial drainage models

open access: yesJournal of Glaciology
Subglacial hydrology models struggle to reproduce seasonal drainage patterns that are consistent with observed subglacial water pressures and surface velocities. We modify the standard sheet-flow parameterization within a coupled sheet–channel subglacial

Origin, evolution and biogeographic dynamics of the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) in Southwestern Europe

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The Pleistocene is a key period for understanding the evolutionary history and palaeobiogeography of the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus). The species was first documented in southeastern Iberia at the beginning of the Middle Pleistocene and appears to have rapidly spread throughout Southwestern Europe, where it was found in numerous ...

Assessing the dynamic changes and the effect of buoyancy of lake-terminating Yanong Glacier in the southeastern Tibetan Plateau with UAV surveys

open access: yesJournal of Hydrology: Regional Studies
Study region: Yanong Glacier, a lake-terminating glacier, in the southeastern Tibetan Plateau. Study focus: Previous researches had indicated higher mass loss of lake-terminating glaciers than land-terminating glaciers over the past few decades. However,

Glacier volume response time and its links to climate and topography based on a conceptual model of glacier hypsometry [PDF]

open access: yesThe Cryosphere, 2009
Glacier volume response time is a measure of the time taken for a glacier to adjust its geometry to a climate change. It has been previously proposed that the volume response time is given approximately by the ratio of glacier thickness to ablation at ...

Tidal influence on Rutford Ice Stream, West Antarctica: observations of surface flow and basal processes from closely-spaced GPS and passive seismic stations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
High-resolution surface velocity measurements and passive seismic observations from Rutford Ice Stream, West Antarctica, 40 km upstream from the grounding line are presented.
