Climate and surging of Donjek Glacier, Yukon, Canada

Arctic, Antarctic, and Alpine Research, 2020
Links between climate and glacier surges are poorly understood but are required to enable prediction of surges and mitigation of associated hazards. Here, we investigate the role of snow accumulation, rain, and temperature on surge periodicity, area ...

Digital fire technologies and community networks: Cultivating just sociotechnical practices for living with planetary change

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Fires are expanding in frequency and intensity worldwide due to climate change and land‐use transformations. At the same time, fire often plays a regenerative role in ecosystems. Traditional and cultural practices incorporate fire use for landscape management and landscape renewal. In this complex matrix of fire ecologies, digital technologies

Controls on glacier surging in Svalbard [PDF]

Journal of Glaciology, 1996
AbstractThe geographical distribution of surge-type glaciers worldwide displays a remarkably non-random pattern. Surge-type glaciers tend to be concentrated in certain glacierized areas and to be completely absent in others. This observation suggests that special conditions are required for surges to occur.

Resilience and Sustainability Through Interlinkages of Gender, Disaster, and Climate Change: A Systematic Literature Review

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This systematic literature review examines gendered vulnerabilities, adaptive capacities, and policy translation in climate‐change induced disaster research using an intersectional lens in the Web of Science Database. Peer‐reviewed journal articles published in English between 2014 and 2024 focusing on gender, climate change, and disaster were

RETRACE Project: How to Enhance Resilience to Climate Risks in Pacific and Arctic Indigenous Communities?

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Risk management has evolved to analyze risks in a systemic way, integrating local knowledge with the abstract concept of resilience, which is now an imperative for vulnerable and exposed communities. However, existing decision‐support tools are mainly focused on technical‐functional aspects and, although based on rigorous and scientific ...

Thermal Regulation of Glacier Surging [PDF]

Journal of Glaciology, 1976
AbstractA necessary condition for a glacier to surge by thermal instability is that the glacier be cold with basal ice at or near the melting point. Deep temperature measurements show that two small surge-type glaciers in the Yukon Territory meet this requirement, but shallow measurements in three other surge-type glaciers suggest a temperate regime ...

Surging Dynamics of Glaciers in the Hunza Valley under an Equilibrium Mass State since 1990

Remote Sensing, 2020
Previous studies have shown that glacier changes were heterogeneous in the western Karakoram, with the coexistence of retreating, advancing, and surging glaciers. However, it remains unclear that the mechanisms driving these changes. Based on the Shuttle

Gross Agricultural Emissions and Unequal Mitigation Pathways in the Brazilian Legal Amazon: Implications for Climate Justice and the Sustainable Development Goals

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate mitigation policies in the Brazilian Legal Amazon have largely focused on aggregate or net emissions, providing limited evidence on how gross agricultural emissions reveal the intensity of productive emission sources independently of carbon removals.

Surging Glaciers—The Dilemma Continues [PDF]

Journal of Glaciology, 1979
Abstract A glacier surge, according to most definitions, is a short-lived phase of unusually rapid glacier flow, after which the glacier returns to more normal behavior, with the surge–non-surge phases recurring on a regular or periodic basis.

Moral Economies of Debt Forgiveness and Enforcement in Postcrisis Iceland

Economic Anthropology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Who deserves financial relief in times of crisis, and on what grounds? The 2008 collapse of Iceland's banking system prompted state intervention to mitigate household indebtedness, including forbearance, pension withdrawals, repayment adjustments, and debt reductions.
