Climate variability and glacial dynamics in the Himalaya
In den Hochgebirgen Asiens bedecken Gletscher eine Fläche von ungefähr 115,000 km² und ergeben damit, neben Grönland und der Antarktis, eine der größten Eisakkumulationen der Erde. Die Sensibilität der Gletscher gegenüber Klimaschwankungen macht sie zu wertvollen paläoklimatischen Archiven in …

Controls on the extent of the Laurentide Ice Sheet in Southern Illinois
… southern Illinois by using a numerical model of glacial dynamics, ICE CASCADE. My model area includes mainly southern Illinois and south-eastern Indiana, with topography mapped at a 1 km horizontal resolution. Multiple model experiments were run to test the effect of varied surface temperature, …

Autonomous energy efficient protocols and strategies for wireless sensor networks
… on providing useful information about sub-glacial dynamics. GlacsWeb nodes are deployed under very hostile conditions. The strain from the moving ice may damage the nodes and the en-glacial water bodies may carry the nodes far out of transmission range from a centrally located base station. …

The resilience of Polar Collembola to climate change
… interactions. I also explored potential recovery dynamics with reference to temperate taxa and colonisation patterns of new habitat exposed by glacial retreat. This review illustrated that polar Collembola exhibit a suite of traits that have enabled their survival in extreme conditions and may …

Glacier surging in the West Kunlun Shan
… High Mountain Asia represents the third-largest glacial system on Earth, with a glacierised area of ~40 800 km2 (Bolch et al., 2012) and a mass balance of -26 ± 12 Gt a-1: ~10% of the global contribution of the cryosphere to sea level rise (Vaughan et al., 2013). The glaciers of the Karakoram and …

Terrestrial cosmogenic nuclide dating applied in glacial stratigraphy and transportation studies on a greenfield exploration project in Kaarestunturi, Finnish Lapland
This study reviews the glacial history and the glacial transportation history in Kaarestunturi, Sodankylä in the Finnish Central Lapland interlobate region. The study is conducted on the Aamurusko prospect, where gold bearing quartz vein boulders have been discovered. The local glacial …
