  1. 11. A Regional Analysis of Changing Climate Conditions and Glacier Mass Balance in Svalbard

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Ottar Bergman; [2019]
    Keywords : glacier mass balance; model data; climate change; Svalbard;

    Abstract : The Arctic archipelago of Svalbard has experienced among the greatest increases in temperature on Earth in the last few decades. The changing climatic conditions have a large impact on the glacier mass balance. This study makes use of a highresolution model dataset with data on climatic and glacier conditions on Svalbard from 1957 to 2018. READ MORE

  3. 12. Climate Change and Precipitation Variability Influence on the Greenland Ice Sheet

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

    Author : Jennie Olsson; [2018]
    Keywords : Physics; Ice Sheet; Surface Mass Balance; SMB; Representative Concentration Pathways; RCP; Climate Change; Greenland; Precipitation; Precipitation Variability; Glaciers; Glacier; Meteorology; Greenhouse Effect; Greenhouse Gas; Future Climate; Climate; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Climate changes have a large impact on precipitation patterns and precipitation variability change. With this in mind, precipitation over Greenland is studied. This is done for present day precipitation model data from 1991-2010 compared to future model simulations of precipitation for 2081-2100. READ MORE

  4. 13. Thermodynamics of the Subsurface of Glaciers with Insights from Lomonosovfonna Ice Field at Svalbard

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapslära

    Author : Enise Shala; Caroline Svanholm; [2018]
    Keywords : temperature; glacier; refreezing; thermal conductivity; simulation; temperatur; glaciär; återfrysning; värmeledningsförmåga; simulering;

    Abstract : Glaciers are important components of the Earth's environment and are mainly found in polar and high elevation areas. They are crucial for understanding the past, ongoing and upcoming environmental changes, relevant for fresh water supply, logistical and recreational purposes. READ MORE

  5. 14. Modeling response of glacier discharge to future climate change, Gacier No.1, Ürümqi

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Shi Jieying; [2018]
    Keywords : sustainable development; climate change; glacier; discharge model; water supply;

    Abstract : Glaciers are known to be prone to climate change. The Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, China, has approximately 20,000 glaciers, which accounts for half number of glaciers in China. READ MORE

  6. 15. Glacial history of the upper Drac Blanc catchment (French Alps)

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Felix Martin Hofmann; [2018]
    Keywords : Physical Geography; 10Be exposure dating; structure-from motion; geomorphological mapping; moraine; equilibrium line altitude; Alps; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Glacier advances in the Écrins massif (French Alps) during the Late Glacial and the Early Holocene are poorly constrained. Based on field observations, a high-resolution digital elevation model and an orthophoto, glacial landforms in the upper Drac Blanc catchment were mapped. READ MORE
