Critical constraints to ecological buffering in a rapidly changing Arctic: A long‐term seabird study
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.Drawing on two decades of research in East Greenland, this study shows that little auks, key seabird indicators of Arctic ecosystem health, can adapt to rapid environmental change through behavioural flexibility. However, increasing storms and mercury pollution are pushing resilience to its limits, providing an early warning of broader Arctic ...

Tracking glacier surge evolution using interferometric SAR coherence—examples from Svalbard
Journal of GlaciologyWe present a practically simple methodology for tracking glacier surge onset and evolution using interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) coherence. Detecting surges early and monitoring their build-up is interesting for a multitude of scientific

Why Do Glaciers Surge? Understanding the Last Eight Surges of Donjek Glacier, Yukon, Canada [PDF]
, 2019 Glacier surges are short periodic episodes of rapid glacier flow that are driven by internal instabilities and bracketed by longer periods of slow flow. These glaciers are important to understand because they are vital to predicting future sea level rise,

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.Our understanding of the recolonization of northwest Europe in the period leading up to the Lateglacial Interstadial relies heavily on discoveries from Gough's Cave (Somerset, UK). Gough's Cave is the richest Late Upper Palaeolithic site in the British Isles, yielding an exceptional array of human remains, stone and organic artefacts, and butchered ...

Risk Scenarios for European Rearmament
Global Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Since Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the European Union has launched a flurry of initiatives to ramp up European defence spending. Efforts to bolster European defence have further intensified in response to the United States' increasingly hostile stance towards its erstwhile European allies.

Seismic evidence confirms that water storage modulates glacier surge behavior at Sít’ Kusá, Alaska
Journal of GlaciologyWater at glacier beds has been repeatedly linked to short term ice-velocity fluctuations and plays a key role in theoretical models of glacier surging. However, the details of water storage in the surge cycle, including where and when water accumulates ...
