    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Femke Pijcke; [2017]
    Keywords : Permafrost; thermokarst lakes; climate change; northern Sweden; remote sensing; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Changes in water surface area (w.s.a.) in Arctic regions have been linked to climate warming and permafrost degradation (Briggs et al. READ MORE

  3. 7. A Historic Record of Sea Ice Extents from Scatterometer Data

    University essay from KTH/Geoinformatik

    Author : Inès Otosaka; [2017]
    Keywords : sea ice; radar scattering; scatterometer;

    Abstract : Sea ice is a vital component of the cryosphere and does not only influence the polar regions but has a more global influence. Indeed, sea ice plays a major role in the regulation of the global climate system as the sea ice cover reflects the sun radiation back to the atmosphere keeping the polar regions cool. READ MORE

  4. 8. Changes in Surface Mass Balance on the Devon Ice Cap in the Canadian Arctic

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Förbränningsfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Linnéa Midefelt; [2016]
    Keywords : Surface mass balance; Devon Ice Cap; Canadian Arctic; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Climate change is an ongoing process that contributes to changes in the climate on a global scale down to a local scale. The Arctic sea ice and the glaciers have continued to decrease at the same time as the rate of sea level rise has increased. READ MORE

  5. 9. Land- atmosphere exchange of carbon dioxide in a high Arctic fen : importance of wintertime fluxes

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Anna Lindstein; [2015]
    Keywords : geography; physical geography; ecosystem analysis; NEE; eddy covariance; Arctic; CO2; wintertime flux; Zackenberg; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Global warming is predicted to have a major impact on the ecosystems over the polar latitudes including the Arctic region which is thought to be especially sensitive to changes in climate. So far, the research studying greenhouse gases in the Arctic has primarily been focused on the short and intense growing season when carbon flux is mostly driven by plants and soil microorganisms.

  6. 10. Hydrological carbon transport in the Abiskojokka catchment area : The relationship between soil organic carbon content and dissolved organic carbon concentrations in stream water

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och kvartärgeologi (INK)

    Author : Pawel Harney; [2014]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Soils in permafrost regions hold substantial amounts of carbon, much of which has accumulated due to processes that are related to cold temperatures. A warming climate will alter the dynamics governing the fluxes of carbon within a system and consequently the pools of carbon therein. READ MORE
