Limited Contribution of Glacier Mass Loss to the Recent Increase in Tibetan Plateau Lake Volume

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2020
The Tibetan plateau plays an essential role in the water supply to Asia’s large river systems and, as the largest and highest mountain plateau in the world, it drives the Asian monsoon and influences global atmospheric circulation patterns.

Ice thickness distribution of all Swiss glaciers based on extended ground-penetrating radar data and glaciological modeling

Journal of Glaciology, 2021
Accurate knowledge of the ice thickness distribution and glacier bed topography is essential for predicting dynamic glacier changes and the future developments of downstream hydrology, which are impacting the energy sector, tourism industry and natural ...

Air temperature distribution and energy balance modelling of a debris-covered glacier [PDF]

, 2016
Near-surface air temperature is an important determinant of the surface energy balance of glaciers that is often represented by constant linear temperature gradients in models.

Limited impact of climate forcing products on future glacier evolution in Scandinavia and Iceland

Journal of Glaciology, 2021
Due to climate change, worldwide glaciers are rapidly declining. The trend will continue into the future, with consequences for sea level, water availability and tourism.

Subglacial drainage processes at a High Arctic polythermal valley glacier [PDF]

, 2005
Dye-tracer experiments undertaken over two summer melt seasons at polythermal John Evans Glacier, Ellesmere Island, Canada, were designed to investigate the character of the subglacial drainage system and its evolution over a melt season. In both summers,

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.

Glacier distribution and changes over the past 50 years in the Kaidu-Konqi River Basin, northwestern China

Research in Cold and Arid Regions
As a highly sensitive indicator of climate change in the arid northwest region of China, glacier dynamics in the Kaidu-Konqi River Basin directly influence regional runoff patterns, thereby playing a crucial role in shaping regional hydrology and ...

Thickness and geodetic mass balance changes for the Triglav Glacier (southeastern Alps) from 1952 to 2016

Acta Geographica Slovenica, 2020
Various geodetic and lidar measurements performed on the Triglav Glacier (Julian Alps, Slovenia) make it possible to study not only the extent of the glacier but also changes in its thickness and volume.

Representing moisture fluxes and phase changes in glacier debris cover using a reservoir approach [PDF]

, 2014
Due to the complexity of treating moisture in supraglacial debris, surface energy balance models to date have neglected moisture infiltration and phase changes in the debris layer.
