Mapping Surface Flow Velocity of Glaciers at Regional Scale Using a Multiple Sensors Approach

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2019
We explore and compare the capabilities and limitations of different optical sensors (Sentinel-2/ESA, Landsat 7/8/USGS, Ven μ s/CNES-ISA, Pléiades/AirbusD&S and Planet Labs images) for mapping the surface speeds of mountain glaciers on ...

Impact of Salinity on Ground Ice Distribution Across an Arctic Coastal Polygonal Tundra Environment

open access: yesPermafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The heterogeneous distribution of ground ice in the Arctic is a key driver of uneven ground subsidence as permafrost thaws, significantly impacting infrastructure and surface/subsurface hydrology. These topographic and hydrological changes contribute to major uncertainties in energy and carbon fluxes and storage in a warming Arctic. This study

Effect of Sea Water Inundation on CO2 and CH4 Production of Thawing Coastal Permafrost Near Utqiaġvik, Alaska

open access: yesPermafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rising sea levels and changing marine dynamics are increasing the inundation of previously terrestrial permafrost, accelerating thaw and altering microbial carbon cycling. On the Arctic Coastal Plain of Alaska, permafrost features like drained lake basins (DLBs) and uplands (ULs), offer distinct redox conditions and formation histories that ...

Impacts of Hydrostatic Pressure on Distributed Temperature-Sensing Optical Fibers for Extreme Ocean and Ice Environments

open access: yesPhotonics
Optical fiber is increasingly used for both communication and distributed sensing of temperature and strain in environmental studies. In this work, we demonstrate the viability of unreinforced fiber tethers (bare fiber) for Raman-based distributed ...

Episodic Subglacial Drainage Cascades Below the Northeast Greenland Ice Stream

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2023
Subglacial hydrology can exert an important control on ice flow by affecting friction at the ice‐bedrock interface. Here, we report on a series of subglacial drainage events along the Northeast Greenland Ice Stream (NEGIS), initiating as far inland as ...

Contrasting impacts of two mesoscale cyclones on the South Shetland Islands' glaciers, northern Antarctic Peninsula

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
This study analyzed the impact of two mesoscale cyclones on the meteorology and glaciology of South Shetland Islands (SSI) glaciers, using in‐situ observations, ERA5 reanalysis data, and high‐resolution weather and glacier mass balance models. Mesoscale cyclones drive temperature drops, heavy snowfall, and strong winds over the SSI, significantly ...

The Debeli Namet glacier (Durmitor, Montenegro) – from the second half of the 20th century to the present

open access: yesActa Geographica Slovenica, 2012
The Debeli Namet glacier is one of two recent glaciers located in the south western Balkans, located on Durmitor Mountain in the south eastern Dinarides mountain range in Montenegro and is considered to be a small glacier.

Automatic identification of streamlined subglacial bedforms using machine learning: an open‐source Python approach

open access: yesBoreas, EarlyView.
Morphometric values of streamlined subglacial bedforms provide valuable information about the relative speed, direction, and maturity of past ice streams. This paper presents a new tool that utilizes a machine learning approach to automatically identify glacially derived streamlined features.
