  1. 21. Meteorological differences between Rabots glaciär and Storglaciären and its impact on ablation

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi

    Author : Pia Eriksson; [2014]
    Keywords : glaciology; micro-climate; mass balance; surface energy balance; scandinavian glaciers;

    Abstract : In the Kebnekaise Massif, Northern Sweden, the west facing glacier, Rabots glaciär, is loosing volume at a significantly higher rate than east facing, Storglaciären. By analyzing data from automatic weather stations situated on the ablation area on the glaciers we investigated the effect of meteorological differences on ablation. READ MORE

  3. 22. The melting Himalayas : examples of water harvesting techniques

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Emma Johansson; [2012]
    Keywords : water harvesting; glacier; climate change; Himalaya; artificial icings; klimatförändringar; glaciär; glacier grafting; konstgjord svallis; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Himalayan glaciers are both growing and shrinking as a response to global climate change. The major trend is a loss of ice sheets, especially among the smaller glaciers. As glaciers retreat there is a change in hydrology and seasonal water availability both upstream and downstream of the river basins. READ MORE
