The Earth has cooled since the early Pliocene, which was punctuated by accelerated cooling indicative of thresholds. I posit that the cooling was initiated when the Neogene uplift of the Tibetan highland caused it to ice over, augmenting the albedo....
Sediment transport in alluvial channels has a long history of intensive research. River ice could affect sediment transport and channel morphology through the impact of various dynamic and thermal ice processes. However, studies on sediment transport...
We conducted an experiment comparing wind speeds and aerodynamic roughness length (z0) values over three snow surface conditions, including a flat smooth surface, a wavy smooth surface, and a wavy surface with fresh snow added, using the wind simulat...
Supraglacial melt-lakes form and evolve along the western edge of the Greenland Ice Sheet and have proven to play a significant role in ice sheet surface hydrology and mass balance. Prior methods to quantify melt-lake volume have relied upon Landsat-...
In Antarctica, SAR interferometry has largely been used in coastal glacial areas, while in rare cases this method has been used on the Antarctic plateau. In this paper, the authors present a digital elevation and ice flow map based on SAR interferome...
The Cenozoic glaciation of Antarctica proceeded through two distinct steps around 35 and 15 million years ago. The first icing was attributed to thermal isolation due to the opening of the Drake/Tasman passages and the development of the Antarctic ci...
Virtual learning environments (VLEs) in physical geography education offer significant potential to aid students in acquiring the essential skills for the environmental interpretation of glacial and periglacial environments for geoscience careers. Si...
Accurately quantifying the threat of collapse due to the weight of settled snow on the roof of a structure is crucial for ensuring structural safety. This quantification relies upon direct measurements of the snow water equivalent (SWE) of settled sn...
Glacies means “the ice” in Latin [...]
In this study, we look for a relationship between the lack of drawdown dolines and the karren formation taking place on the bare surfaces of glaciokarsts. Along the profiles, the specific width and density of the most common karren such as rinnenkarr...
