Bayesian Estimates of Ice Optical Properties for Lake Ice Modeling

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
Abstract Ice and snow cover on frozen lakes is a natural barrier to solar radiation, reducing the transfer of energy that controls under‐ice thermal dynamics and biological productivity. Direct measurements of under‐ice irradiance remain scarce due to logistical constraints.

Greenland Ice Sheet - Higher non-linearity of ice flow significantly reduces estimated basal motion [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
In times of warming in polar regions, the prediction of ice sheet discharge is of utmost importance to society, because of its impact on sea level rise. In simulations the flow rate of ice is usually implemented as proportional to the differential stress

Stable isotope (δD–δ¹⁸O) relationships of ice facies and glaciological structures within the mid-latitude maritime Fox Glacier, New Zealand [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Relationships between stable isotopes (δD–δ¹⁸O), ice facies and glacier structures have hitherto gone untested in the mid-latitude maritime glaciers of the Southern Hemisphere. Here, we present δD–δ¹⁸O values as part of a broader study of the structural glaciology of Fox Glacier, New Zealand. We analyzed 94 samples of δD–δ¹⁸O from a range of ice facies

A Brighter Arctic Ocean: Trends in Solar Partitioning in the Arctic Sea Ice ‐ Ocean System From 1984 to 2024

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.
Abstract Solar radiation is the key energy input to the ocean. In the Arctic Ocean and its peripheral seas, the distribution of solar radiation is strongly modulated by the presence of sea ice. In this study, we combined satellite and model products to investigate solar radiation partitioning between reflection to the atmosphere, absorption in the ice,

Multi‐Scale Drivers of Food‐Water‐Energy Related Ecosystem Services in the Context of Land Degradation: Insights From the Beijing‐Tianjin‐Hebei Agglomeration

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 6, Page 2058-2083, 15 April 2026.
ABSTRACT Land degradation poses significant challenges to maintaining food–water–energy (FWE) security, particularly in rapidly urbanizing regions. The ecosystem services (ES) related to FWE are critical for sustainable regional development. Yet, rapid urbanization in the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei region has altered land use and ecological patterns ...

Dendritic subglacial drainage systems in cold glaciers formed by cut-and-closure processes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The routing and storage of meltwater and the configuration of drainage systems in glaciers exert a profound influence on glacier behaviour. However, little is known about the hydrological systems of cold glaciers, which form a significant proportion of ...

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

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, Volume 41, Issue 3, Page 400-418, April 2026.
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.

Dynamical mechanism of antifreeze proteins to prevent ice growth

open access: yes, 2014
The fascinating ability of algae, insects and fishes to survive at temperatures below normal freezing is realized by antifreeze proteins (AFPs). These are surface-active molecules and interact with the diffusive water/ice interface thus preventing ...

From shape to source: sedimentary charcoal morphology as a proxy for tropical burned biomass composition

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, Volume 41, Issue 3, Page 490-506, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Sedimentary charcoal elongation is increasingly being used in paleoecology to distinguish herbaceous from woody fuel in past fires. However, the relationship between charcoal morphotypes and plant types has never been formally tested in tropical environments, despite its potential to improve understanding of fire regimes and deforestation, and
