  1. 1. Cold Surface Layer Dynamics of Storglaciären, Northern Sweden 2009-2019

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Shunan Feng; [2019]
    Keywords : Storglaciären; cold surface layer; cold-temperate transition surface; polythermal glacier; Storglaciären; kallt ytskikt; kall-tempererad is; polyterrmal glaciär;

    Abstract : Storglaciären is a sub-Arctic polythermal glacier in northern Sweden. Twenty years' monitoring of thecold surface layer found that it has lost one third of its total volume of cold ice with an average thinningrate of 0.80 ± 0.24 m·a-1 for the period of 1989-2009. READ MORE

  3. 2. Changes in the Cold Surface Layer on a Polythermal Glacier during Substantial Ice Mass Loss

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Klara Blomdahl; [2015]
    Keywords : Polythermal glacier; digital elevation model; ground-penetrating radar; cold surface layer; Pårteglaciären; northern Sweden; Polytermal glaciär; digital höjdmodell; georadar; kallt ytskikt; Pårteglaciären; norra Sverige;

    Abstract : Climate change in the Arctic and sub-Arctic has induced substantial changes in the inland cryosphere. The warming climate is causing a reduction in glacier size and extent and the average net mass balance for Arctic glaciers have been negative over the past 40 years. READ MORE

  4. 3. Pathways and Transit Time of Meltwater in the Englacial Drainage System of Rabots Glacier, Kebnekaise, Sweden

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi

    Author : Caroline Coch; [2014]
    Keywords : dye tracing experiments; glacier hydrology; hydrocarbon pollution;

    Abstract : Following the crash of a Norwegian Hercules aircraft on Rabots glaciär in the Kebnekaise mountain range in 2012, a field campaign was initiated in order to assess the fate of the hydrocarbon pollution in the system. It is hypothesized that soluble components of the aircraft fuel will be transported within the glacial meltwater. READ MORE
