Cover Story: The Columbia Icefield in the Canadian Rockies serves is a major water source for the Columbia, Athabasca, North Saskatchewan, and Fraser River systems. The Columbia Icefield is one of the most visited tourist sites in North America. In this study, we measured the amount of retreat and change in areas of Columbia Icefield glaciers between 1985 and 2018. We used Landsat (TM 5 and OLI) satellite images. We concluded that all glaciers in the study region retreated and lost about 42 Km2 of its area. View this paper.

The Cenozoic Malaguide Basin from Sierra Espuña (Murcia, S Spain): An Example of Geological Heritage

  • Santiago Moliner-Aznar,
  • Manuel Martín-Martín,
  • Tomás Rodríguez-Estrella and
  • Gregorio Romero-Sánchez

The Cenozoic Malaguide Basin from Sierra Espuña (Internal Betic Zone, S Spain) due to the quality of outcropping, areal representation, and continuity in the sedimentation can be considered a key-basin. In the last 30 years, a large number of...

  • Lindsay Beevers

With evidence suggesting that climate change is resulting in changes within the hydrologic cycle, the ability to robustly model hydroclimatic response is critical. This paper assesses how extreme runoff—1:2- and 1:30-year return period (RP) eve...

Calculating Energy and Its Spatial Distribution for a Subsurface Urban Heat Island Using a GIS-Approach

  • Julian A. V. Schweighofer,
  • Michael Wehrl,
  • Sebastian Baumgärtel and
  • Joachim Rohn

In urban areas, the human influence on the city-ecosystem often results in a Subsurface Urban Heat Island (SUHI), which can be used geothermally. Unfortunately, a model of a SUHI does not consider the geology and hydrogeology of the subsoil. These ca...
