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

Northernmost no more? The fragmentation of Nordmannsjøkelen in Norway
Annals of GlaciologyNordmannsjøkelen, mainland Europe’s northernmost glacier, has fragmented into small remnants, with only one unit showing signs of active ice flow. The glacier has lost 92% of its area since 1970 (September 2024 area relative to 1970 area).

Quantifying Geodetic Mass Balance of the Northern and Southern Patagonian Icefields Since 1976
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022 Southern Andean glaciers contribute substantially to global sea-level rise. Unfortunately, mass balance estimates prior to 2000 are limited, hindering our understanding of the evolution of glacier mass changes over time.

Testing hypotheses of the cause of peripheral thinning of the Greenland Ice Sheet: is land-terminating ice thinning at anomalously high rates? [PDF]
, 2008 Recent observations have shown that the periphery of the Greenland ice sheet (GrIS) is thinning rapidly and that this thinning is greatest around marine-terminating outlet glaciers. Several theories have been proposed which provide a link between climate

Sedimentary Ancient DNA Reveals Local Vegetation Changes Driven by Glacial Activity and Climate
Quaternary, 2023 Disentangling the effects of glaciers and climate on vegetation is complicated by the confounding role that climate plays in both systems. We reconstructed changes in vegetation occurring over the Holocene at Jøkelvatnet, a lake located directly ...

Scottish late-glacial moraines: debris supply, genesis and significance [PDF]
, 2012 A variety of moraine forms were deposited by glaciers during the Loch Lomond Stadial. Study of such moraines and related landforms provides a valuable source of data on patterns of landscape evolution and climatic change. This thesis presents detailed

Cryospheric Impacts on Volcano-Magmatic Systems
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022 In contrast to water and air, ice is the most dynamic enveloping medium and unique environment for volcanic eruptions. While all three environments influence volcanic activity and eruption products, the cryospheric eruption environment is unique because:
