The ground ice melting has accelerated the lake expansion in the hinterland of the permafrost region on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau

Journal of Hydrology: Regional Studies
Study region: The Zonag Lake-Yanhu Lake basin on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP). Study focus: The melting of ground ice near the permafrost table is an important factor leading to the lake expansion on the QTP.

Airborne profiling of ice thickness using a short pulse radar [PDF]

The acquisition and interpretation of ice thickness data from a mobile platform has for some time been a goal of the remote sensing community. Such data, once obtainable, is of value in monitoring the changes in ice thickness over large areas, and in ...

Vegetation on the move: elevational shifts and greening dynamics across the Himalayan alpine zone

Ecography, EarlyView.
This study investigates alpine ‘vegetation line' (the upper limit of continuous plant community) dynamics in the Himalayan alpine zone (HAZ) over a 24‐year timescale (1999–2022) using maximum NDVI products derived from Landsat series datasets, adjusted for sampling bias using phenological modelling.

Substantial role of under‐ice limnological processes in diatom dynamics in the alpine lakes of the Chinese Loess Plateau

Ecosphere
Recent climate warming has resulted in the reduction of lake ice cover and significant changes in phytoplankton communities, but due to the traditional view of low production under lake ice in winter as well as the logistical challenges of winter ...

Simulating past and future refugia for temperate trees in northern Italy

Ecography, EarlyView.
During the Quaternary, trees responded to the climatic changes of glacial–interglacial cycles with large‐scale range shifts. Over cold glacials, temperate tree species contracted their ranges and survived in areas known as refugia. Several studies point to the Euganean Hills (Colli Euganei), in Veneto, northern Italy, as one of the northernmost ...

Improving the lake scheme within a coupled WRF‐lake model in the Laurentian Great Lakes

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2016
In this study, a one‐dimensional (1‐D) thermal diffusion lake model within the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model was investigated for the Laurentian Great Lakes.

Differences in behavior and distribution of permafrost-related lakes in Central Yakutia and their response to climatic drivers [PDF]

, 2017
The Central Yakutian permafrost landscape is rapidly being modified by land use and global warming, but small-scale thermokarst process variability and hydrological conditions are poorly understood.

When Policy Is the Hazard: Institutional Legitimacy and Climate Risk Attribution Among Farmers in Water Stressed California

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines how farmers perceive and respond to climate policy risk in the context of drought and argues that understanding such responses is as important as understanding farmer reactions to the biophysical impacts of climate change.
