  1. 11. Meteorological Conditions on Nordenskiöldbreen Glacier, Svalbard (2009 – 2015)

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Niclas Bergman; [2017]
    Keywords : Svalbard; Nordenskiöldbreen; glacier; albedo; Svalbard; Nordenskiöldbreen; glaciär; albedo;

    Abstract : Glacial environments in the Arctic are a much-studied topic as well as a field of research with strong influences regarding the current and future global climate of our planet. This report is focused on the meteorological conditions on Nordenskiöldbreen glacier from 2009-2015 and how they correlate with each other, the glacier surface and the surrounding terrain. READ MORE

  3. 12. The behaviour of melt water within a glacial system

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Love Tingdal; Nils Ceder; [2017]
    Keywords : meltwater; percolation; ice lens; glacier; smältvatten; perkolation; islins; glaciär;

    Abstract : A glacier contains of many different layers of different properties. Each layer is formed during a calendar year similar to tree rings and their layers. A glacier has two different zones, the first one referred to as accumulation zone, where the addition of snow exceeds the loss of snow. READ MORE

  4. 13. Regional and Local Factors Influencing the Mass Balance of the Scandinavian Glaciers.

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Höglin David; [2016]
    Keywords : Glacier; climate; mass balance; PCA.; Glaciär; klimat; massbalans; PCA.;

    Abstract : According to climatic models there will be an increase in the amount of greenhouse gases which results in a warming of the earth where the change will be most prominent in the high latitudes. Glaciers mass balance is a good climate change indicator as the response is fast when climate is changing. READ MORE

  5. 14. Icelandic Glacial Ice Volume Changes and its Contribution to Sea Level Rise since the Little Ice Age Maximum

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Stephanie Fish; [2016]
    Keywords : Iceland; Little Ice Age; sea level rise; volume-area scaling; glaciers; climate change; Island; Lilla istiden; havsnivåhöjning; volym-area skalning; glaciärer; klimatförändringar;

    Abstract : Satellite imagery and volume-area scaling are used to asses the glacier area and ice volume of Iceland from the Little Ice Age maximum to present day, obtaining a final result in sea level rise between 1890 - 2015. The Little Ice Age was a time of regional cooling, with glaciers reaching their maximum extent (~1890 for Iceland) with warming and glacier retreat after this period ended. READ MORE

  6. 15. Seasonal Velocities on Nordenskiöldbreen, Svalbard

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Lena Elisa Ehwald; [2016]
    Keywords : Nordenskiöldbreen; Svalbard; velocity; glaciers; climate change; mass balance; dynamical behaviour of glaciers; Glaciär; Svalbard; Nordenski öldbreen; isflöde; massbalans; klimatuppvärmnin;

    Abstract : Global warming leads to increased precipitation in the Arctic, as warmer air can carry more moisture. The consequence is that many arctic glaciers get steeper slopes over time as increased melt at their lower part causes thinning and increased solid precipitation in their upper regions leads to thickening of the glacier.
