Sources and Pathways of Glacial Meltwater in the Bellingshausen Sea, Antarctica
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 Meltwater content and pathways determine the impact of Antarctica's melting ice shelves on ocean circulation and climate. Using ocean glider observations, we quantify meltwater distribution and transport within the Bellingshausen Sea's Belgica Trough ...

The optical and biological properties of glacial meltwater in an Antarctic fjord
PLoS ONE, 2019 As the Western Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) region responds to a warmer climate, the impacts of glacial meltwater on the Southern Ocean are expected to intensify.

Snow Temperature Behind Sliding Skis as an Indicator for Frictional Meltwater
Frontiers in Mechanical Engineering, 2021 For many years, a frictional meltwater film has been assumed to be the reason for the low friction between skis and snow, but experimental studies have been inconclusive.

Tidewater glaciers as “climate refugia” for zooplankton-dependent food web in Kongsfjorden, Svalbard
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 With climate warming, many tidewater glaciers are retreating. Fresh, sediment-rich sub-glacial meltwater is discharged at the glacier grounding line, where it mixes with deep marine water resulting in an upwelling of a plume visible in front of the ...

Meltwater Pulse 1a drowned fringing reefs around Tahiti 15 000 years ago
Royal Society Open Science, 2023 Reconstruction of postglacial sea-level rise using reef cores recovered from Tahiti during IODP Expedition 310 showed that the first major acceleration, known as Meltwater Pulse 1a (MWP-1a), was a 12–22 m rise in 340 years starting at 14.65 ka BP ...

Glacial Water: A Dynamic Microbial Medium
Microorganisms, 2023 Microbial communities and nutrient dynamics in glaciers and ice sheets continuously change as the hydrological conditions within and on the ice change.

Melting Himalayan Glaciers Threaten Domestic Water Resources in the Mount Everest Region, Nepal
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2020 Retreating glaciers and snowpack loss threaten high-altitude communities that rely upon seasonal melt for domestic water resources. But the extent to which such communities are vulnerable is not yet understood, largely because melt contribution to water ...

Mass Loss of Glaciers and Ice Caps Across Greenland Since the Little Ice Age
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 Glaciers and ice caps (GICs) are important contributors of meltwater runoff and to global sea level rise. However, knowledge of GIC mass changes is largely restricted to the last few decades.
