Seasonal Predictions and Their Applications in the Mediterranean Region: Part II—Prediction‐Based Services

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
This review explores climate predictions as actionable decision‐making tools, focusing on the Mediterranean. It examines transforming forecasts into user‐defined information through bias adjustment, downscaling and impact models. Highlighting collaborative EU initiatives, it addresses challenges like limited forecasting skill and data accessibility ...

Mountain rock glaciers contain globally significant water stores [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2018
AbstractGlacier- and snowpack-derived meltwaters are threatened by climate change. Features such as rock glaciers (RGs) are climatically more resilient than glaciers and potentially contain hydrologically valuable ice volumes. However, while the distribution and hydrological significance of glaciers is well studied, RGs have received comparatively ...

Holocene sea‐level and environmental changes on the Isle of Mull, Scotland

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sea‐level and coastal changes are reconstructed on the Isle of Mull, western Scotland, from 10 988 to 10 507 cal BP to the present. This research has produced the first SLIP for the Isle of Mull. A multiproxy approach including pollen, spore, foraminifera and diatom analyses reveals palaeoenvironmental changes from two coastal sites.

Accelerated Volume Loss in Glacier Ablation Zones of NE Greenland, Little Ice Age to Present

Geophysical Research Letters, 2019
Mountain glaciers at the periphery of the Greenland ice sheet are a crucial freshwater and sediment source to the North Atlantic and strongly impact Arctic terrestrial, fjord, and coastal biogeochemical cycles. In this study we mapped the extent of 1,848

The Challenge of Non-Stationary Feedbacks in Modeling the Response of Debris-Covered Glaciers to Climate Forcing

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021
Ongoing changes in mountain glaciers affect local water resources, hazard potential and global sea level. An increasing proportion of remaining mountain glaciers are affected by the presence of a surface cover of rock debris, and the response of these ...

Everest's thinning glaciers: implications for tourism and mountaineering [PDF]

Geology Today, 2018
Glacier mass loss in the Everest region of Nepal is accelerating in response to a warming climate, which is a trend observed across the central and eastern Himalaya. Thinning glaciers and the development of supraglacial (surface) ponds and large glacial lakes will increasingly restrict access to glacier surfaces and will affect popular trekking routes ...

Summer Dynamics of Microbial Diversity on a Mountain Glacier

mSphere, 2022
Microbial diversity on mountain glaciers is an underexplored component of global biodiversity. Microbial presence and activity can also reduce the surface albedo or reflectiveness of glaciers, causing them to absorb more solar radiation and melt faster, which in turn drives more microbial activity.

Cordilleran Ice Sheet early deglaciation inferred from evolution of Late‐Pleistocene glacial Lake Dzulh Stun in east‐central British Columbia, Canada

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract We document the early decay of the Late‐Pleistocene Cordilleran Ice Sheet in the central portion of the Rocky and Cariboo Mountains and the Rocky Mountain Trench in east‐central British Columbia. Glacial lakes impounded at the eastern margin of the ice sheet occupied watersheds on the west flank of the central Rocky Mountains, leaving ...

Bridging worlds

Mètode Science Studies Journal: Annual Review
In high-mountain regions, climate change adaptation represents a major challenge, both now and in the future, particularly in issues related to water management and the continued degradation and loss of glaciers. While scientific knowledge on the subject

Bedload hysteresis in a glacier‐fed mountain river [PDF]

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 2014
ABSTRACTSediment transport during flood events often reveals hysteretic patterns because flow discharge can peak before (counterclockwise hysteresis) or after (clockwise hysteresis) the peak of bedload. Hysteresis in sediment transport has been used in the literature to infer the degree of sediment availability.
