Examining the variability of rock glacier meltwater in space and time in high-elevation environments of Utah, United States

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2023
Rock glaciers are common geomorphic features in alpine landscapes and comprise a potentially significant but poorly quantified water resource. This project focused on three complementary questions germane to rock glacier hydrology: 1) Does the ...

Changes in Imja Tsho in the Mount Everest Region of Nepal [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Imja Tsho, located in the Sagarmatha ( Everest) National Park of Nepal, is one of the most studied and rapidly growing lakes in the Himalayan range. Compared with previous studies, the results of our sonar bathymetric survey conducted in September of ...

Projected loss of rock glacier habitat in the contiguous western United States with warming

open access: yesJournal of Glaciology
Rock glaciers support alpine biodiversity and may respond more slowly to warming than snow or glaciers. While responses of snow and glaciers to climate change are relatively well understood, a robust assessment of rock glacier environmental niche, future

Ecology of endolithic lichens colonizing granite in continental Antarctica [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
In this study, the symbiont cells of several endolithic lichens colonizing granite in continental Antarctica and the relationships they have with the abiotic environment were analyzed in situ, in order to characterize the microecosystems integrating ...

Characterizing ground ice content and origin to better understand the seasonal surface dynamics of the Gruben rock glacier and the adjacent Gruben debris-covered glacier (southern Swiss Alps) [PDF]

open access: yesThe Cryosphere
Over the recent years, there have been focused international efforts to coordinate the development and compilation of rock glacier inventories. Nevertheless, in some contexts, identifying and characterizing rock glaciers can be challenging as complex ...

Rock Glacier Dynamics by a Thermo-Elastic-Viscoplastic Constitutive Relationship

open access: yesGeosciences, 2021
As a result of mountain permafrost creep, rock glaciers are common features in high-altitude periglacial areas. From a practical point of view, beyond their localization and inventorying, both the monitoring and prediction of their evolution due to ...

Rock glaciers in central Patagonia [PDF]

open access: yesGeografiska Annaler: Series A, Physical Geography, 2018
Active rock glaciers are ice and debris-cored landforms common in cold arid mountains. They have not been widely described in the Patagonian Andes of southern South America and here we provide the ...

Natural Negative Feedback Loops Confer Indica‐Japonica Differentiation for Grain Size Homeostasis in Rice

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals the genetic and molecular mechanisms controlling grain size homeostasis through fine‐tuning OsGRX8 self‐expression by two natural negative feedback loops functioning in redox‐dependent or ‐independent manners and identifies two self‐regulatory haplotypes (SRHs) for the subspecies differentiation in rice.
