Estimation of Glacier Thickness From Surface Mass Balance and Ice Flow Velocities: A Case Study on Argentière Glacier, France

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2018
Glacier thickness distribution is a prerequisite to simulate the future of glaciers. Inaccurate thicknesses may lead to significant uncertainties in the timing of future changes to glaciers and their consequences for water resources or sea level rise ...

Coordinated Architectural and Chemical Reinforcement in the Crushing Mandible of a Soldier Termite

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The crushing mandible of a soldier termite withstands substantial biting loads despite lacking mineral. Its cuticle is partitioned: convex teeth pair hardness and zinc enrichment with aligned chitin fibers for contact durability, while stiffer concave regions between teeth carry bending loads.

Measuring sea ice thickness

open access: yesHydrographische Nachrichten, 2023
This work explores the potential of using commercial single-beam echo sounders for accurate thickness determination of sea ice. Therefore, an own sensor system has been developed which allows to study the performance of different echo sounders monitoring sea ice under varying environmental conditions in a laboratory setup. The sensor system consists of

Ice thickness measurements and volume estimates for glaciers in Norway [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Glaciology, 2015
AbstractGlacier volume and ice thickness distribution are important variables for water resource management in Norway and the assessment of future glacier changes. We present a detailed assessment of thickness distribution and total glacier volume for mainland Norway based on data and modelling.

TransArctic-2019 expedition ice thickness and snow height direct measurements at points of hydrological stations

open access: yes, 2020
Direct (contact) measurements of sea ice thickness, elevation and snow height performed at points of 59 hydrological (oceanographic) stations during the TransArctic-2019 expedition (28 March - 04 May 2019) are presented.

Advancing SafeWax, A Bio‐Inspired Superhydrophobic Coating, Toward Sustainable and Climate‐Resilient Crop Protection

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study advances SafeWax, a bio‐inspired, fatty‐acids‐based superhydrophobic coating, by identifying an agriculturally compliant solvent and revealing how solvent‐controlled Fatty acid crystallization governs the coating's microscopic structure and performance.

An Integrated Oxygen‐Supplying Device and Predictive Multiphysics Model for Extended Ambient Transport of Insulin‐Producing Cells

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Cell therapies typically rely on cold‐chain logistics and cryopreservation, limiting access and compromising cell quality. Here, a dual‐chamber device separates an oxygen‐supplying chamber from a hyaluronic acid cargo chamber, sustaining oxygen delivery for over 70 h and enabling ambient‐temperature shipment.

Geometry and ice dynamics of the Darwin–Hatherton glacial system, Transantarctic Mountains

open access: yesJournal of Glaciology, 2017
The Darwin–Hatherton Glacial system (DHGS) connects the East Antarctic Ice Sheet (EAIS) with the Ross Ice Shelf and is a key area for understanding past variations in ice thickness of surrounding ice masses.
