A Numerical Investigation of a Solidification Model for Snow Micro-Structure Metamorphosis

open access: yes, 2015
Understanding the way snow changes during environmental events has wide spread benefits ranging from avalanche prediction to water conservation. Snow on a micro-structural level constantly changes from the moment it forms. Snow metamorphosis is driven by

JEAN CLAUDE RENARD: (POETRY AS) CRAFT OF TRANSPARENCY

open access: yesTeoliterária: Revista Brasileira de Literaturas e Teologias, 2015
The work of Jean-Claude Renard (Toulon 1922- Paris 2002) appears from the beginning marked by the metaphor of the journey - Songs for land lost (1947), and the craft of transparency.

Chemical interactions with snow : understanding the behaviour of semi-volatile organic compounds in snow.

open access: yes, 2006
Snow plays an important role in providing atmospherically derived semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs) to regions of high latitude and altitude. The accumulated winter snowpack serves as a reservoir for SVOCs, which may then be released to arctic ...

Characteristics of snow structure along Kongsvegen glacier (Svalbard)

open access: yes, 2017
Snow cover data in Arctic regions like Svalbard are scarce while interest in distribution, properties and development of Arctic snow is evident (in context of climate change, too).

Some Results on Oxygen Isotope and Stratigraphic Analyses of Firn in Mizuho Plateau, East Antarctica

open access: yes, 1981
P(論文)Oxygen isotope (δ^O) and stratigraphic analyses of the 2m deep pits and the 10m deep cores from the coast to the high-inland region of Mizuho Plateau have been done.

Determining Greenland Ice Sheet Accumulation Rates from Radar Remote Sensing

open access: yes, 2002
An important component of NASA's Program for Arctic Regional Climate Assessment (PARCA) is a mass balance investigation of the Greenland Ice Sheet. The mass balance is calculated by taking the difference between the areally Integrated snow accumulation ...

Field investigation into the diffusion of semi-volatile organic compounds into fresh and aged snow

open access: yes, 2006
Empirically derived field diffusivities were determined over a 24 h period for a selection of anthropogenic chlorinated chemicals in both fresh and aged snow at Tromsø, Norway.

Étude des instationnarités du transport de neige par le vent

open access: yes, 2007
Blowing snow causes disturbances that affect both tourism and transportation. Moreover, snowdrifts and accelerated snow metamorphosis dramatically increase the risk of avalanches.

FROM SNOW TO ICE, A HIDDEN METAMORPHOSIS The impact of climate change and human activity on glacier ice formation

open access: yes
The cryosphere, defined as the set of regions where water remains in a solid state, plays a key role in the Earth’s climate system and is highly sensitive to climate change. This article explores the process of glacial ice formation and its main stages. We analyse how climate change and anthropogenic pollution are altering each of them.
