1. 1. Anticipating Glacier Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs): an impact-based forecasting framework for managing GLOF risks in Nepal.

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

   Author : Grace Muir; [2023]
   Keywords : Anticipatory Action; Impact-based Forecasting; Glacier Lake Outburst Flood; Nepal; Risk-informed Early Action; Prediction; Disaster Risk Management; Science General;

   Abstract : Glacier lake outburst floods (GLOFs) are an increasingly documented threat across the Himalayan region, wherein Nepal is situated. GLOFs involve a rapid discharge of water from a lake situated at the side, front, within, beneath, or on the surface of a glacier. READ MORE

3. 2. Analysis of Rainfall-runoff processes at different scales in two mountainous, Arctic catchments in northern Sweden

   University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi

   Author : June Johansson; [2023]
   Keywords : Arctic hydrology; Catchment response parameters; Water height recession analysis; Permafrost presence; Glacier presence;

   Abstract : The hydrological regime in Arctic catchments is being altered as an effect of climate change. To be able to project future changes in Arctic hydrology and hydrogeology, the mechanisms and drivers affecting runoff generation needs to be understood. READ MORE

4. 3. Remote Sensing of Cryospheric Surfaces : Small Scale Surface Roughness Signatures in Satellite Altimetry Data

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

   Author : Petter Ideström; [2023]
   Keywords : Remote sensing; Altimetry; Arctic; Cryosphere; ICESat-2; Cryosat-2; Svalbard;

   Abstract : The Arctic cryosphere is experiencing a higher rate of warming compared to the rest of the world due to Arctic amplification. As glacier elevation change provide reliable evidence of climate change it is routinely measured by satellite altimeters. READ MORE

5. 4. Glacier front variatons in Sweden: 2015-2022

   University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi

   Author : Martin Houssais; [2023]
   Keywords : Swedish glaciers; Glacier front variation; Remote sensing; MaQiT; Sentinel-2; Handheld GNSS; UAV photogrammetry; Total station;

   Abstract : This study aims at increasing the amount of data available on recent past Swedish glacier front variations, at improving the knowledge on the present behavior of these glaciers, and at contributing to the defnition of the guideline for future of glacier front observations in Sweden. To do so, the study proposes Sentinel-2 based yearly front variation measurements for 22 Swedish glaciers between 2015 and 2022, calculated based on the multicentreline approach of the MaQiT tool.

6. 5. Monitoring of heat exchanges in thesnowpack of Foxfonna glacier, Spitzbergen,Svalbard.

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

   Author : Thibault Desjonquères; [2022]
   Keywords : Glaciers; Glaciology; Svalbard; Geophysics; Superimposed Ice; Foxfonna; Geology.; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : The processes of meltwater storage in firn and the impact of refreezing on firn-coveredglaciers have been investigated on the Greenland ice-sheet. On Svalbard, climate changepromotes the disappearance of firn on glaciers. READ MORE
