   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

3. 2. Analysing seasonal snow cover trends and patterns on Svalbard

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

   Author : Dhruv Maniktala; [2022]
   Keywords : snow cover; snow disappearance; snow onset; snow-free duration; CARRA; Svalbard;

   Abstract : Rapid warming in the Arctic is highly impacting the cryosphere in the region, causing melting of the sea ice, retreat of glaciers and reduction in the snow cover. If suffering further temperature increase, the albedo of the region would reduce due to higher absorption of the solar radiation in snow-free areas. READ MORE

4. 3. The effect of forest cover for the dynamics of a snowpack : linking snow water equivalents, meltwater contributions and evaporative loss

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and Management

   Author : Álvaro Valle Millán; [2010]
   Keywords : Forest hydrology; Clearcut; Snow accumulation; Snow water equivalents; Meltwater released; Evaporative loss; Water balance;

   Abstract : Forestry is one of the main economical activities in Sweden, but it can seriously affect the dynamic of the water cycle by altering several hydrological factors such as timing and amount of snow melt and meltwater contributions from the snowpack to the soil.This thesis, performed during the spring 2010 within the “Balsjö Catchment Study” in Northern Sweden, was carried out in order to understand how forest cover can influence the hydrology of snow-dominated boreal catchments.
