Unique applied glaciology challenges of proglacial mining
, 2015 The glaciology group at the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS) has a tradition of applied glaciology consulting for hydropower projects in Greenland (Weidick & Thomsen 1982; Braithwaite & Olesen 1988; Ahlstrøm et al. 2008).

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Under continued climate warming, understanding present‐day permafrost distribution and the controls on ground thaw are critical for predicting permafrost thaw trajectories and associated implications. This study presents a high‐resolution investigation of permafrost extent and active layer thickness (ALT) across a coniferous forested hillslope

Glaciological Literature [PDF]
Journal of Glaciology, 1974 AbstractThis is a selected list of glaciologcal literature on the scientific study of snow and ice and of their effects on the Earth; for the literature on polar expeditions, and also on the “applied” aspects of glaciology, such as snow ploughs, readers should consult the bibliographies in each issue of Recent Polar Literature (supplement to the Polar ...

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.ABSTRACT High‐resolution mapping of permafrost in ecologically and topographically complex landscapes remains a major challenge. Existing models of permafrost extent often rely on equilibrium assumptions, which can misrepresent conditions in regions where permafrost persists largely due to ecosystem structure.

Exploring Ice Cave Biodiversity in Northeastern Italy
DiversityThe ice stored in caves is a widespread yet neglected cryospheric component. The cold-adapted biodiversity of ice caves has received very little attention from research, despite the potential abundance of endemic troglobiotic and cryophilic species and ...

Changes in West Antarctic ice stream dynamics observed with ALOS PALSAR data
Geophysical Research Letters, 2008 The Advanced Land Observation System (ALOS) Phased‐Array Synthetic‐Aperture Radar (PALSAR) is an L‐band frequency (1.27 GHz) radar capable of continental‐scale interferometric observations of ice sheet motion.

The Age and Origin of Block Deposits in the Victorian Alps, Australia
Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Large periglacial block deposits are found in the mountains of southeastern Australia. Despite their widespread distribution, their mode of formation and age are poorly understood. These landforms hold considerable potential to shed light on the nature of cooling during glacial periods. In this paper we present a new study of block deposits in

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Using a large and novel array of instruments on five rockwalls in northern Gaspesia, their respective surface energy balances were calculated and their thermal regimes were measured and modeled to depths exceeding the seasonal frost penetration.

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study investigates the multi‐decadal evolution of a glacier forefield under permafrost conditions in the Combins Massif (western Swiss Alps). A multi‐method approach based on historical and recent datasets is used to analyze its landform components.
