Deformation, Strength and Tectonic Evolution of Basal Ice in Taylor Glacier, Antarctica Open
Observation and measurements of ice structure and deformation made in tunnels excavated into the margin of Taylor Glacier, a polythermal glacier in the McMurdo Dry Valleys of Antarctica, reveal a complex, rapidly deforming basal ice sequen…

Spatial Distribution of Unique Biological Communities and Their Control Over Surface Reflectivity of the Stanley Glacier, Uganda Open
Diverse microbes have been revealed to live in glaciers worldwide, but only a few biological studies were dedicated to glaciers in tropical Africa. These glaciers are shrinking rapidly and are expected to disappear shortly. In this study, …

Future snow projections in a small basin of the Western Himalaya Open
Snow is a crucial component of the hydrological cycle in the Western Himalaya. Water from snowmelt is used in various sectors in downstream regions, thus playing a critical role in securing the livelihoods of millions of people. In this st…

The fate of the snow in the western Himalaya region: A climate change perspective Open
<p>Snow is a crucial component of the hydrological cycle in the Western Himalaya, where the warming climate is already impacting precipitation and melt runoff patterns. In this study, we investigated the future evolution of snow cove…

Comments on &#8220;Ground-penetrating radar reveals ice thickness and undisturbed englacial layers at Kilimanjaro&#8217;s Northern Ice Field&#8221; by Bohleber et al., 2016 Open
Bohleber et al. surveyed the Northern Ice Field of Kilimanjaro for reconstructing its bedrock topography, ice thickness and internal stratigraphy, using ground-penetrating radar (GPR) at various frequencies.Despite GPR being widely used in…

Retrieving the paleoclimatic signal from the deeper part of the EPICA Dome C ice core Open
An important share of paleoclimatic information is buried within the lowermost layers of deep ice cores. Because improving our records further back in time is one of the main challenges in the near future, it is essential to judge how deep…

Marine ice recycling at the southern McMurdo Ice Shelf, Antarctica Open
Marine ice accretes at the base of ice shelves, often infilling open structural weaknesses and increasing ice-shelf stability. However, the timing and location of marine ice formation remain poorly understood. This study determines marine …
