Health and sustainability of glaciers in High Mountain Asia
Nature Communications, 2021 Glaciers in High Mountain Asia generate meltwater that supports the water needs of 250 million people, but current knowledge of annual accumulation and ablation is limited to sparse field measurements biased in location and glacier size. Here, we present

Snowfall decrease in recent years undermines glacier health and meltwater resources in the Northwestern Pamirs [PDF]
Communications Earth & EnvironmentCentral Asia hosts some of the world’s last relatively healthy mountain glaciers and is heavily dependent on snow and ice melt for downstream water supply, though the causes of this stable glacier state are not known.

Younger Dryas glacier advances in the tropical Andes driven by increased precipitation [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThere is currently a debate about the timing and drivers of former glacier behaviour and climate change in the tropical Andes. Using 10Be dating we determined the ages of 21 boulders on moraines in the Santa Cruz Valley, Peru (∼10°S, altitudes ~ 4100 to ~

Prehospital locoregional anesthesia: a case series [PDF]
Scandinavian Journal of Trauma, Resuscitation and Emergency MedicineBackground Standard prehospital pain management relies on opioids, which involved avoidable risks. Few studies have evaluated pre-hospital locoregional anesthesia (LRA), especially fascia iliaca compartment blocks (FICB) and femoral nerve blocks (FB). We

The Randolph Glacier Inventory: a globally complete inventory of glaciers
Journal of Glaciology, 2014 The Randolph Glacier Inventory (RGI) is a globally complete collection of digital outlines of glaciers, excluding the ice sheets, developed to meet the needs of the Fifth Assessment of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change for estimates of past ...

A review of volume‐area scaling of glaciers
Reviews of Geophysics, 2015 Volume‐area power law scaling, one of a set of analytical scaling techniques based on principals of dimensional analysis, has become an increasingly important and widely used method for estimating the future response of the world's glaciers and ice caps ...

Calving rates at tidewater glaciers vary strongly with ocean temperature
Nature Communications, 2015 Rates of ice mass loss at the calving margins of tidewater glaciers (frontal ablation rates) are a key uncertainty in sea level rise projections. Measurements are difficult because mass lost is replaced by ice flow at variable rates, and frontal ablation

Genomic Data Suggests Pathways of Modern White Poplar (Populus alba L.) Range Formation in the Postglacial Era [PDF]
PlantsThe white poplar (Populus alba L.) is an economically significant tree species with a natural distribution spanning an extensive region of Eurasia. Nevertheless, there is currently no hypothesis regarding the historical shaping of this range.

Sub-seasonal variability of supraglacial ice cliff melt rates and associated processes from time-lapse photogrammetry [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2022 Melt from supraglacial ice cliffs is an important contributor to the mass loss of debris-covered glaciers. However, ice cliff contribution is difficult to quantify as they are highly dynamic features, and the paucity of observations of melt rates and ...
