Chironomid-based Holocene summer temperature dynamics from southern Spain Open
Global warming is generating substantial environmental modifications in fragile alpine areas. Past temperature reconstructions are necessary to evaluate how climate change modified alpine environments before instrumental measurements. In t…
Lingering beneath crumbling walls: The origin of Holocene rock glaciers Open
Rock glaciers may appear to be stubby, slow-moving, debris-mantled cousins of glaciers, yet the controls on their formation, size, and persistence differ from those of glaciers. The defining rock glacier characteristic is a debris cover su…

Exploring Holocene Climate History and Alpine Landscape Evolution From Rock Glacier Dynamics: Mt Sopris, CO, USA Open
Rock glaciers dominate the cryosphere in mid‐latitude alpine settings, yet their activity and their histories remain challenging to constrain. We focus on the Thomas Lake rock glacier on Mt. Sopris in Colorado, USA. We measure surface velo…

Chironomid-based Holocene summer temperature dynamics from southern Spain  Open
This study presents a reconstruction of Holocene mean July air temperatures based on chironomid assemblages preserved in the sedimentary record of Laguna de la Mosca (LdlMo), an alpine lake in the Sierra Nevada of southern Spain. The LdlMo…
Record grounded glacier retreat caused by an ice plain calving process in Antarctica Open
Understanding and predicting glacier instabilities represents one of the greatest challenges in forecasting future sea level rise. Here, we present a study of Hektoria Glacier on the Eastern Antarctic Peninsula, which underwent an unpreced…
Domestication of Algae for Increasing Biomass Productivity Open
Microalgae cultivation processes have been developed for the production of a variety of bioproducts, however currently only a few species are used in commercial applications. Their domestication, that is strain improvements, is still in it…
A conceptual carbon budget for an icy riverine corridor Open
The contribution of river corridors to the global carbon budget exceeds their small areal footprint, yet our understanding of fluvial carbon dynamics is incomplete, particularly in periglacial settings.Frequent disturbance and lateral flux…
Impacts of convective storms on runoff, erosion, and carbon export in a continuous permafrost landscape Open
Permafrost holds more than twice the amount of carbon currently in the atmosphere, but this large carbon reservoir is vulnerable to thaw and erosion under a rapidly changing Arctic climate.Convective storms are becoming increasingly common…
Triggers of the 2022 Larsen B multi-year landfast sea ice breakout and initial glacier response Open
In late March 2011, landfast sea ice (hereafter, “fast ice”) formed in the northern Larsen B embayment and persisted continuously as multi-year fast ice until January 2022. In the 11 years of fast-ice presence, the northern Larsen B glacie…
Stable Isotopes Constrain Water Seepage From Gnammas Into Bare Granitic Bedrock Open
Subtle bedrock depressions called gnammas allow the water in ephemeral pools to maintain contact with bare rock, thus serving as natural rock‐weathering experiments. Following filling by precipitation, evaporation is often assumed to be th…
Re-evaluating Rapid Glacier Retreats: Hektoria Glacier’s Unprecedented Tidewater Collapse Open
Hektoria Glacier on the Eastern Antarctic Peninsula underwent a heretofore unseen rate of tidewater-style glacier retreat from 2022 to 2023 after the loss of decade-old fast ice in the Larsen B embayment. The glacier has retreated 25 km be…

Advancing understanding of Holocene rock glacier dynamics Open
Rock glaciers, major cryospheric features in alpine landscapes, pose formidable challenges in extracting climatic information over recent to Holocene timescales. This presentation delves into an integrative multi-method approach, striving …
Debris cover controls glacial thinning, lakes, and hazards inHigh Mountain Asia Open
Glaciers across High Mountain Asia (HMA) are thinning and retreating in widely varying patterns. The cause of this variability has been controversial for decades, hindering predictions of water resources and hazards for 800 million people …
Short Comment on tc-2023-88 Open
Abstract. In late March 2011, landfast sea ice (hereafter, ‘fast ice’) formed in the northern Larsen B embayment and persisted continuously as multi-year fast ice until January 2022. In the 11 years of fast ice presence, the northern Larse…

Rock glacier activity over Holocene to modern timescales : insight from a western alp site Open
Active rock glaciers are among the most common cryospheric landforms in high-altitude mid-latitude mountain ranges. Over both short (years to decades) to long (centuries to millennia) time scales, their activity strongly influences the hyd…

Sedimentary and environmental evolution of an alpine lake in Sierra Nevada, western Mediterranean region, since the last deglaciation Open
The alpine wetlands from Sierra Nevada mountain range, located in the western Mediterranean region, are highly sensitive to climate and environmental changes and their sedimentary records preserve a high-quality signal of past natural envi…
