Quantifying glacier melt enhancement due to dust deposition during the 2022 melt season. Tungnaárjökull glacier, South Iceland
… of any natural surface, making snow-covered glaciers an important component of the Earth´s energy balance. However, the presence of light absorbing impurities such as mineral dust on glacier surfaces alters their reflective properties leading to a reduction in albedo, consequently increasing …

Quantifying Glacier-Derived Summer Runoff in Northwest Montana
Glacier National Park, located in northwest Montana contains the second largest concentration of glaciers in the U.S. Rocky Mountains. However, total glacier-covered area has shrunk by almost 30% over the past 50 years. This has important implications for local glacier-fed streams, especially …

Snowmelt Detection on Alpine Glaciers using Synthetic Aperture Radar Time Series
<p>Hindu Kush Himalayan (HKH) glaciers serve as some of the most sensitive indicators of changes in global climate. These glaciers shape the hydrologic dynamics of river systems supplying freshwater to over 2 billion people throughout Asia and regulate the geochemistry of sensitive aquatic alpine …

Glacier retreat and projected river regime changes in the hydrologically highly-coupled Virkisjökull catchment, SE Iceland
Virkisjökull is an outlet glacier of the Öræfajökull icecap in SE Iceland and currently covers 60% of its catchment, though this is reducing. Fieldwork and catchment monitoring activities for this project over the last 4 years includes measurement of ice ablation, proglacial discharge, dye-tracing …

Advances in the Hyperspectral Imaging Microscope Spectrometer Method, and Application for Measuring the Spectral Reflectance of Light Absorbing Aerosols from the South Cascades, Colorado Rockies, and Iceland
Snow and glaciers are receding at a global scale. Warming temperatures are often identified as the dominant cause of this decline; however, deposition of light absorbing aerosols (LAA), including black carbon, mineral dust and organics onto snow and glacier surfaces can be an even larger driver of …

Hydrometeorological Variability over Pakistan
… on Planet Earth. Though, it is confined to the glaciers in the eastern Hindukush, western Karakoram and northwestern Himalayan mountain ranges of Northern Pakistan that are not responding to global warming in the same manner as their counterparts elsewhere, because, their retreat rates are less …

MODERN AND INDIGENOUS KNOWLEDGE OF CLIMATE CHANGE AND GLACIER MARRIAGE IN GILGIT-BALTISTAN, PAKISTAN.
… systems. The region is highly dependent on glacier melt; therefore, it is the main source of water for both drinking and irrigation purposes. The altered precipitation patterns and climate hazards such as glacial lake outburst floods, flash floods, and extreme weather events have intensified …

GEOHERITAGE ASSESSMENT, MONITORING AND COMMUNICATION THROUGH MULTIDISCIPLINARY - 3D MODELLING APPROACH.
Questa tesi di dottorato ha lo scopo di sviluppare e testare strumenti innovativi e metodologie per la valutazione, il monitoraggio e la comunicazione del patrimonio geologico in ambienti a elevata dinamicità, concentrandosi su contesti glaciali, proglaciali e ambienti modellati dai processi …
