Glacier area changes in the Arctic and high latitudes using satellite remote sensing

open access: yesJournal of Maps, 2023
Glaciers have been retreating over the last century as a result of climate change, particularly in the Arctic, causing sea levels to rise, affecting coastal communities and potentially changing global weather and climate patterns.

Tidewater Glaciers and Bedrock Characteristics Control the Phytoplankton Growth Environment in a Fjord in the Arctic

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2019
Meltwater discharge from tidewater glaciers impacts the adjacent marine environment. Due to global warming tidewater glaciers are retreating and will eventually terminate on land.

95 years of climate and cryosphere studies of the Arctic in the Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute

open access: yesЛëд и снег, 2015
A brief description of studies of the atmosphere, ocean, sea ice, and glaciers in the Arctic Regions and on the islands fulfilled since 1920 by scientists and specialists of the Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute (AARI) is presented.

Reconstruction of Past Glacier Changes with an Ice-Flow Glacier Model: Proof of Concept and Validation

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2021
Estimations of global glacier mass changes over the course of the 20th century require automated initialization methods, allowing the reconstruction of past glacier states from limited information. In a previous study, we developed a method to initialize

The microbiome of glaciers and ice sheets

open access: yesnpj Biofilms and Microbiomes, 2017
Glaciers and ice sheets, like other biomes, occupy a significant area of the planet and harbour biological communities with distinct interactions and feedbacks with their physical and chemical environment. In the case of the glacial biome, the biological

La politisation des glaciers en Argentine : une analyse de l’application de la loi nationale sur les glaciers (2010)

open access: yesCahiers des Amériques Latines, 2016
In this article we explore the birth of « self-mobilizing » community associations and the articulation and mobilization process of different stakeholders whose efforts led to the enactment of the Law on Minimum Standards for the Protection of Glacial ...

Laser‐Induced Graphene from Waste Almond Shells

open access: yesAdvanced 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.

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

open access: yes, 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 ...

Mountain rock glaciers contain globally significant water stores

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2018
Glacier- and snowpack-derived meltwaters are threatened by climate change. Features such as rock glaciers (RGs) are climatically more resilient than glaciers and potentially contain hydrologically valuable ice volumes. However, while the distribution and
