  1. 1. Effects from Firn Density on Radar Derived Depth to Perennial Firn Aquifer, Lomonosovfonna, Svalbard

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

    Author : Daniel Estmark; [2022]
    Keywords : Perennial Firn Aquifer; Glacier; Svalbard; Mass balance; GPR; Lomonosovfonna; Flerårig firn akvifär; glaciär; Svalbard; massbalans; GPR; Lomonosovfonna;

    Abstract : As the climate is changing, there are clear impacts on the mass balance of glaciers. A glacier can be defined as the result of sufficient accumulation, in the form of snow and rain, compared to its ablation, the different types of glacial loss, a balance that then determines the size of the glacier.

  3. 2. Shallow near-surface lapse rates and their connection to glacier meteorology on Storglaciären and Rabots glaciär, Northern Sweden

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi

    Author : Moon Taveirne; [2022]
    Keywords : Temperature lapse rate; glacier meteorology; near-­surface lapse rate; ablation gradient;

    Abstract : Glacier melt is strongly impacted by climate and meteorology. Temperature lapse rates are used to model glacier melt, and the accuracy of the spatial distribution of modelled melt can be impacted by the lapse rate used in modelling. Additionally, the observed spatial distribution of melt is highly temporally variable. READ MORE

  4. 3. Mass Balance of the High-Arctic Glacier Nordenskiöldbreen, Svalbard, in a Changing Climate

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

    Author : Maja Gustavsson; [2019]
    Keywords : Mass balance; glacier; Nordenskiöldbreen; climate change; Massbalans; glaciär; Nordenskiöldbreen; klimatförändringar;

    Abstract : Melting glaciers are the major contributor to sea level rise. Glaciers are sensitive indicators of climate change and current experience strong developments in a rapidly warming Arctic environment. READ MORE

  5. 4. Cold Surface Layer Dynamics of Storglaciären, Northern Sweden 2009-2019

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Shunan Feng; [2019]
    Keywords : Storglaciären; cold surface layer; cold-temperate transition surface; polythermal glacier; Storglaciären; kallt ytskikt; kall-tempererad is; polyterrmal glaciär;

    Abstract : Storglaciären is a sub-Arctic polythermal glacier in northern Sweden. Twenty years' monitoring of thecold surface layer found that it has lost one third of its total volume of cold ice with an average thinningrate of 0.80 ± 0.24 m·a-1 for the period of 1989-2009. READ MORE

  6. 5. The Ability of Regional Climate Models to Simulate Weather Conditions on Nordenskiöldbreen, Svalbard

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

    Author : Malin Andersson; Erica Erikson; [2018]
    Keywords : Regional climate models; automatic weather station; glacier; Svalbard; Regionala klimatmodeller; automatisk väderstation; glaciär; Svalbard;

    Abstract : In this project, we analyse the ability of two regional climate models to simulate meteorological conditions on Nordenskiöldbreen, a glacier in Svalbard. To do so, regional climate model output is compared with in situ measurements from an automatic weather station. READ MORE
