The role of glacier mice in the invertebrate colonisation of glacial surfaces: the moss balls of the Falljökull, Iceland [PDF]
, 2012 Glacier surfaces have a surprisingly complex ecology. Cryoconite holes contain diverse invertebrate communities while other invertebrates, such as Collembola often graze on algae and windblown dead organic on the glacier surface.

Automated characterization and quantification of hydrocarbon seeps based on frontal illuminated video observations [PDF]
Journal of the European Optical Society-Rapid Publications, 2015 Hydrocarbon releases, either natural or due to anthropogenic activities, are of major relevance for the marine environment. In this work we specify our approach to quantify these seeps by subsea imaging utilizing camera systems and frontal illumination ...

Importance of snow as component of surface mass balance of Arctic glacier (Hansbreen, southern Spitsbergen) [PDF]
Polish Polar Research, 2019 Snowmelt is a very important component of freshwater resources in the polar environment. Seasonal fluctuations in the water supply to glacial drainage systems influence glacier dynamics and indirectly affect water circulation and stratification in fjords.
