A physically based calving model applied to marine outlet glaciers and implications for the glacier dynamics [PDF]

, 2010
We present results from numerical ice-flow models that include calving criteria based on penetration of surface and basal crevasses, which in turn is a function of longitudinal strain rates near the glacier front.

Heat, Health and Holidays: Reported Heat Related Adjustments to Australian Tourist Behaviour

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
This study assessed how climate‐related hazards affect Australian tourists' travel planning. While 80% of tourists report no impact, the 20% who do experience disruption most commonly change their activities, timing, or destination, with heat and rain affecting the same proportion of tourists across beach, city, nature, and family tourism types ...

'Calving laws', 'sliding laws' and the stability of tidewater glaciers [PDF]

, 2007
A new calving criterion is introduced, which predicts calving where the depth of surface crevasses equals ice height above sea level. Crevasse depth is calculated from strain rates, and terminus position and calving rate are therefore functions of ice ...

Late Holocene environmental history of Dojran, Macedonia: Investigating the interplay of imperial dynamics and climatic change

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study presents a high‐resolution, multi‐proxy reconstruction of environmental and land‐use change from Lake Dojran over historical times (last 2500 years), combining pollen, biomarkers, radiocarbon dating, Ottoman taxation records and other historical data.

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

Geochronological reconstruction of the Lateglacial deglaciation in the Arve Valley (Northern French Alps)

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The timing and spatial patterns of glaciers retreat in the Northern French Alps during the Lateglacial (19.0–11.7 ka) remain debated, reflecting discrepancies among available chronological data sets. The complex interactions between major glaciers, such as the Rhône and Arve glaciers to the north and the Isère glacier to the south, represent a

Downwasting and supraglacial lake evolution on the debris-covered Ngozumpa Glacier, Khumbu Himal, Nepal [PDF]

, 2015
In recent decades, the downwasting of several debris-covered glaciers in the Himalaya has led to the formation of large and potentially hazardous moraine- dammed lakes.
