16. Long-term glacier mass balance of Nordenskiöldbreen, Svalbard
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperAbstract : The global warming that’s taking place have an impact over the Earth and the glaciers on Svalbard are undergoing rapid changes as a result. The annual air temperature has been rising on Svalbard since the early 1900’s and in a climate projection expected temperatures continue to rise. READ MORE

17. Changes in Surface Mass Balance on the Devon Ice Cap in the Canadian Arctic
University essay from Lunds universitet/Förbränningsfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionenAbstract : 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

18. Estimated Input of Mercury to Kusawa Lake, Northern Canada, from Snow and Glacial Melt Water
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperAbstract : Unusually high levels of mercury (Hg) have been detected in several northern Canadian lakes, remote from human industrial activities. At Kusawa Lake, a subalpine glacier-fed mountain lake situated in the Yukon Territory (western Canada), measurements of Hg in caught fish are below, but worryingly close to, the Health Canada guideline for safe fish consumption of 0.

19. Changes in the Cold Surface Layer on a Polythermal Glacier during Substantial Ice Mass Loss
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperAbstract : 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

20. External Conditions Effects on the Self-Organised Criticality of the Calving Glacier Front of Tunabreen, Svalbard
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperAbstract : Mass balance processes in glaciers are important for determining the growth or retreat of ice. Calving, the mechanical breakage of ice bergs from a glacier front, is a poorly understood phenomenon. This process has great importance to the mass balance of many glaciers, for example on Antarctica and in the Arctic. A recent paper by Åström et al. READ MORE
