1. Effects from Firn Density on Radar Derived Depth to Perennial Firn Aquifer, Lomonosovfonna, Svalbard
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapsläraAbstract : As the climate is changing, there are clear impacts on the mass balance of glaciers. A glacier can be defined as the result of sufficient accumulation, in the form of snow and rain, compared to its ablation, the different types of glacial loss, a balance that then determines the size of the glacier.

2. Shallow near-surface lapse rates and their connection to glacier meteorology on Storglaciären and Rabots glaciär, Northern Sweden
University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografiAbstract : Glacier melt is strongly impacted by climate and meteorology. Temperature lapse rates are used to model glacier melt, and the accuracy of the spatial distribution of modelled melt can be impacted by the lapse rate used in modelling. Additionally, the observed spatial distribution of melt is highly temporally variable. READ MORE

3. Mass Balance of the High-Arctic Glacier Nordenskiöldbreen, Svalbard, in a Changing Climate
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapsläraAbstract : Melting glaciers are the major contributor to sea level rise. Glaciers are sensitive indicators of climate change and current experience strong developments in a rapidly warming Arctic environment. READ MORE

4. Cold Surface Layer Dynamics of Storglaciären, Northern Sweden 2009-2019
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperAbstract : 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.

5. The Ability of Regional Climate Models to Simulate Weather Conditions on Nordenskiöldbreen, Svalbard
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapsläraAbstract : In this project, we analyse the ability of two regional climate models to simulate meteorological conditions on Nordenskiöldbreen, a glacier in Svalbard. To do so, regional climate model output is compared with in situ measurements from an automatic weather station. READ MORE
