To understand the effects of the glacial meltwater supply on carbonate chemistry and the air–sea CO2 flux within the fjord, water samples were collected in Bowdoin Fjord in northwestern Greenland for dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) concentration, total ...

Stable Bacterial Cores and Patchy Eukaryotic Communities Shape the Summer Microbiomes of Patagonian Fjord Ecosystems Across Spatial, Functional and Temporal Gradients [PDF]
Our study shows that microbial community diversity in Patagonian fjords varies with glacial influence and salinity, with a widespread bacterial core but a patchier eukaryotic core. Distinct co‐occurrence networks and marked short‐term community shifts occur in water‑ versus land‐terminating glacier fjords, underscoring meltwater influence in this ...

Entropy and seasonal isotopic duality reveal the sustainability paradox of the upper Ganga River [PDF]
Mountain headwaters are widely regarded as pristine reference systems; however, mounting evidence reveals that even these fragile environments are no longer insulated from the pervasive influence of the Anthropocene.

Elevation shapes alpine snow algal blooms and their influence on albedo reduction. [PDF]
Graphical summary of elevational trends in Sanguina‐dominated snow algal blooms. Increasing elevation was associated with larger cells, lower Chla content per cell, higher astaxanthin ratios, lower snow water content, and reduced cell‐normalized albedo, whereas algal cell density showed no consistent elevational trend.

Methane emissions from subglacial meltwater of three alpine glaciers in Yukon, Canada
Subglacial meltwater of land-terminating glaciers in Greenland and Iceland are sources of methane (CH4) to the atmosphere, but sparse empirical data exist about the spatial distribution of subglacial CH4 production and emission from glaciers in other ...

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

Mechanism for the subglacial formation of cryogenic brines
Cryogenic brines are under-studied, despite the fact that they may contain information about past ice-sheet behavior. Cryogenic brines form through cryoconcentration of seawater, although the specific setting and mechanism of formation have been debated.

Change at 85 degrees south: Shackleton Glacier region proglacial lakes from 1960 to 2020
Over the last two decades, anomalous warming events have been observed in coastal Antarctic regions. While these events have been documented in the Ross Sea sector, the Antarctic interior is believed to have been buffered from warming.

Interplay of North Atlantic freshening and deep convection during the last deglaciation constrained by Iberian speleothems [PDF]
The last deglaciation featured abrupt climate shifts driven by interactions among Earth system components, notably retreating ice sheets and meltwater input.
