Timing of Little Ice Age maxima and subsequent glacier retreat in northern Troms and western Finnmark, northern Norway

Arctic, Antarctic, and Alpine Research, 2020
Glaciers are important indicators of climate change, and recent observations worldwide document increasing rates of mountain glacier recession. Here we present approximately 200 years of change in mountain glacier extent in northern Troms and western ...

Meltwater Intrusions Reveal Mechanisms for Rapid Submarine Melt at a Tidewater Glacier [PDF]

, 2019
Submarine melting has been implicated as a driver of glacier retreat and sea level rise, but to date melting has been difficult to observe and quantify. As a result, melt rates have been estimated from parameterizations that are largely unconstrained by ...

Glacier Mass Change in High Mountain Asia Through 2100 Using the Open-Source Python Glacier Evolution Model (PyGEM)

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2020
Glaciers in High Mountain Asia are an important freshwater resource for large populations living downstream who rely on runoff for hydropower, irrigation, and municipal use.

Mourning Glaciers: Animism Reconsidered through Ritual and Sensorial Relationships with Mountain Entities in the Alps

Humans, 2023
The transformation due to climate change of the high Alpine mountains is intensifying. A real disruption in the perception of this milieu and in the ways of interacting with it is ongoing, as evidenced by recent funeral ceremonies organised for ...

Runoff modelling in glacierized Central Asian catchments for present-day and future climate [PDF]

, 2006
A conceptual precipitation–runoff model was applied in five glacierized catchments in Central Asia. The model, which was first developed and applied in the Alps, works on a daily time step and yields good results in the more continental climate of the ...

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

SenDiT: The Sentinel-2 Displacement Toolbox with Application to Glacier Surface Velocities

Remote Sensing, 2019
Satellite imagery represents a unique opportunity to quantify the spatial and temporal changes of glaciers world-wide. Glacier velocity has been measured from repeat satellite scenes for decades now, yet a range of satellite missions, feature tracking ...

A comparison of glacier melt on debris-covered glaciers in the northern and southern Caucasus [PDF]

, 2011
The glacier coverage in the Caucasus Mountains underwent considerable changes during the last decades. In some regions, the observed reduction in glacier area is comparable to those in the European Alps and the extent of supra-glacial debris increased on

Disappearing glaciers of the Oregon Cascades, USA

Annals of Glaciology
The Oregon Cascades had 35 named glaciers on seven volcanoes in the 1980s, with 34 of those glaciers remaining by 2000. Here, we document the glaciers that fall into the Global Glacier Casualty List categories based on five years of field observations of

The impact of a seasonally ice free Arctic Ocean on the temperature, precipitation and surface mass balance of Svalbard [PDF]

, 2012
The observed decline in summer sea ice extent since the 1970s is predicted to continue until the Arctic Ocean is seasonally ice free during the 21st Century. This will lead to a much perturbed Arctic climate with large changes in ocean surface energy flux.
