Reconstructing primary production in a changing estuary: A mass balance modeling approach
Limnology and Oceanography, 2021AbstractEstuarine primary production (PP) is a critical rate process for understanding ecosystem function and response to environmental change. PP is fundamentally linked to estuarine eutrophication, and as such should respond to ongoing efforts to reduce nutrient inputs to estuaries globally.

Influence of seasonality on glacier mass balance, and implications for palaeoclimate reconstructions
Climate Dynamics, 2009Climates inferred from former glacier geometries in some areas exhibit discrepancies with regional palaeoclimates predicted by General Circulation Models (GCMs) and modelling of palaeoecological data, possibly as a consequence of their differing treatments of climatic seasonality.

Reconstructing surface mass balance from the Greenland ice sheet stratigraphy.
2020<p>Our knowledge of the past surface mass balance on Greenland depends on scarce paleoclimate reconstructions and uncertain climate simulations. However, reconstructions of the internal layering of the ice sheet can provide an independent dataset of accumulation.

The Alpine glaciers are sensitive to climate fluctuation, and glacier mass balance may be used as a proxy indicator of the regional climate change impacts. An indirect methodology is presented for determining the distribution of mass balance at high spatial resolution using remote sensing and ground stakes measurements.

We present a Seasonal Sensitivity Characteristic (SSC) of Vatnajokull (Iceland), which consists of the sensitivity of the mean specific mass balance to monthly perturbations in temperature and precipitation. The climate in Iceland is predominantly maritime (high precipitation) although often the polar air mass influences the area.

Current state-of-the-art glacier models for regional and global scales mostly rely on empirical models, such as temperature-index models, which require glacier-specific calibration with in-situ mass balance measurements. In the absence of these measurements, the models suffer from large uncertainties in their projections of glacier mass changes ...

Tree-ring-based mass balance reconstruction at Easton Glacier, Washington, USA
2015Tree-rings were used to reconstruct a 150-year mass balance record for Easton Glacier in the North Cascades Range of Washington State, USA. An annual ring-width chronology was developed from climate-sensitive Mountain Hemlock trees sampled at high-elevation stands on the south flank of Mount Baker.

High-resolution mass balance reconstructions for Swiss glaciers using machine learning
Glacier retreat poses significant environmental and societal challenges. Understanding the local impacts of climate drivers on glacier evolution is essential, with glacier mass balance being a central concept. This study uses the Mass Balance Machine (MBM; Sjursen et al., 2025), an open-source, data-driven model based on eXtreme Gradient Boosting ...Marijn van der Meer +5 more

Reconstructing Annual Global Glacier Mass Balance using Bayesian Neural Fields
The accelerating loss of glacier mass is disrupting local ecosystems, reshaping hydrological regimes, increasing the likelihood of glacier-related hazards, and undermining the resilience of dependent communities. Quantifying annual glacier mass balance remains challenging because existing estimates rely on either sparse in situ and remote sensing ...Ritu Anilkumar +3 more
