Reconstructing Holocene Glacier and Climate Fluctuations From Lake Sediments in Vårfluesjøen, Northern Spitsbergen

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2018
A process-based understanding of lacustrine deposited sediments in Arctic lakes is essential to set the present warming and hydroclimatic shift into perspective. From such a perspective, we can enhance our understanding of the natural climate variability

The Holocene sedimentary record of Mittie Glacier dynamics in Smith Bay, Ellesmere Island (eastern Canadian Arctic Archipelago)

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, Volume 40, Issue 7, Page 1191-1211, October 2025.
ABSTRACT The physical, sedimentological, mineralogical, and elemental geochemical properties of sediment cores collected in Smith Bay (22BC and 01PC), and near the front of Mittie Glacier (23BC and 01GC), were used to reconstruct glacial sediment discharge and trace the long‐term composition and provenance of detrital sediments for the northeastern ...

ROCK GLACIERS IN THE KOLYMA HIGHLAND

open access: yesЛëд и снег, 2015
Based on remote mapping and field studies inGrand Rapids, Tumansky,Hasynsky,Del-Urechen Ridges as well as Dukchinsky and Kilgansky Mountain Massifs there were identified about 1160 landforms which morphologically are similar to the rock glaciers or they ...

Cryptic Ice Wedge Networks in Holocene Peat, Yukon‐Kuskokwim Delta, Alaska

open access: yesPermafrost and Periglacial Processes, Volume 36, Issue 4, Page 678-701, October/December 2025.
ABSTRACT The Yukon‐Kuskokwim Delta (YKD), covering ~75,000 km2 of Alaska's discontinuous permafrost zone, has a historic (1902–2023) mean annual air temperature of ~−1°C and was previously thought to lack ice wedge networks. However, our recent investigations near Bethel, Alaska, revealed numerous near‐surface ice wedges.

One century of treeline change and stability - experiences from the Swedish scandes

open access: yesLandscape Online, 2010
This paper elaborates and visualizes processes recorded in a recent regional and multi-site study of elevational treeline dynamics during the period 1915 to 2007 in the Swedish Scandes.

Recent glacier recession - A new source of postglacial treeline and climate history in the Swedish Scandes

open access: yesLandscape Online, 2011
Climate warming during the past century has imposed recession of glaciers and perennial snow/ice patches along the entire Swedish Scandes. On the newly exposed forefields, subfossil wood remnants are being outwashed from beneath ice and snow bodies.

Early departures and delayed arrivals: Holocene dynamics of temperate tree species in the boreal‐temperate ecotone

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 9, Page 2460-2475, September 2025.
As temperate tree species require warmer temperatures than boreal species, some thermophilous species, such as white pine, increased in abundance at their northern edge during historically warmer periods. Our data reveal that not all temperate species behaved accordingly: maples were scarce during the warm mid‐Holocene, while their abundance increased ...

Coastal moderation of Holocene fire and vegetation change on the Pacific coast of Canada

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution
In the coming century, climate variability is projected to increase in Northeast Pacific coastal areas, increasing the need for land managers to understand how ecosystems are expected to change in response to new or enhanced disturbances.

Little Ice Age (Neoglacial) Paleoenvironmental Conditions At Siple Station, Antarctica [PDF]

open access: yesAnnals of Glaciology, 1990
The 550-year records of δ18O and dust concentrations from Siple Station, Antarctica suggest warmer and less dusty atmospheric conditions from 1600 to 1830 A.D. which encompasses much of the northern hemisphere Little Ice Age (LIA). Dust and δ18O data from South Pole Station indicate that the opposite conditions (e.g.
