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...
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...
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...
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...
The icy satellites of the outer Solar System show surfaces strongly deformed by tectonic activity, which mostly shows wide strike-slip zones. The structural pattern recognized on such regions can be ascribed to the deformation observed on terrestrial...
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....
Glacies means “the ice” in Latin [...]
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...
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 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...
