Potential climatic transitions with profound impact on Europe [PDF]
, 2011 We discuss potential transitions of six climatic subsystems with large-scale impact on Europe, sometimes denoted as tipping elements. These are the ice sheets on Greenland and West Antarctica, the Atlantic thermohaline circulation, Arctic sea ice, Alpine

Volume, formation and sedimentation of future glacier lakes in Switzerland [PDF]
, 2022 Abstract. Ongoing climate change and associated glacier retreat is causing rapid environmental change, including shifts in high-alpine landscapes. Glacier lakes, which can form in topographical depressions left behind by glacier retreat, are prominent features within such landscapes.

Origin and significance of 'dispersed facies' basal ice: Svínafellsjökull, Iceland [PDF]
, 2010 Dispersed facies basal ice - massive (i.e. structureless) ice with dispersed debris aggregates - is present at the margins of many glaciers and, as a product of internal glacial processes, has the potential to provide important information about the ...

Recent volume loss of British Columbian glaciers, Canada
Geophysical Research Letters, 2007 We use the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) data and digital terrain models from aerial photography to quantify the change of glacier volume in British Columbia (BC), Canada for the period 1985–1999. We note substantial elevation bias in the SRTM elevations, typically on the order of −12 m km−1. The bias‐corrected thinning rate is −0.78 ± 0.19 m
