Multivariate statistical analysis to assess the surface water quality of a snow and glacier-fed river: A case from Alaknanda River basin

Water Science and Technology, 2023
The water quality of Himalayan rivers has declined due to human activities, untreated effluent discharge, and poor sewage and drainage systems. The current study aimed to assess the water quality of these rivers using multivariate statistical analysis ...

Slow change since the Little Ice Age at a far northern glacier with the potential for system reorganization: Thores Glacier, northern Ellesmere Island, Canada

Arctic Science, 2023
Relatively little is known about the glaciers of northern Ellesmere Island, Canada. Here we describe the first field and remote sensing observations of Thores Glacier, located 50 km inland from the Arctic Ocean.

Unprecedented 21st century glacier loss on Mt. Hood, Oregon, USA [PDF]

The Cryosphere
As part of the southern Cascades, Mt. Hood is the tallest and most glacierized peak in Oregon, USA. Despite alpine glaciers being one the clearest indicators of human-caused climate change, the 21st century behavior of glaciers on Mt.

Sea-Level Rise: From Global Perspectives to Local Services

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Coastal areas are highly diverse, ecologically rich, regions of key socio-economic activity, and are particularly sensitive to sea-level change. Over most of the 20th century, global mean sea level has risen mainly due to warming and subsequent expansion
