The manner by which meltwater drains through a glacier is critical to ice dynamics, runoff
characteristics, and water quality. However, much of the contemporary knowledge relating to …

In modern life petroleum-based plastic has become indispensable due to its frequent use as
an easily available and a low cost packaging and moulding material. However, its rapidly …

Natural environmental isotopes of nitrate and ammonium are used in conjunction with major
ion chemistry and hydrological data to establish controls upon the biogeochemical cycling of …

Uncertainty surrounds estimates of microbial cell and organic detritus fluxes from glacier
surfaces. Here, we present the first enumeration of biological particles draining from a …

This article discusses the terminological and disciplinary problems associated with the point
of view that ice is a rock, resulting from a dynamic development of earth sciences which …

Glacial ice surfaces represent a seasonally evolving three-dimensional photic zone which
accumulates microbial biomass and potentiates positive feedbacks in ice melt. Since viruses …

We describe the climatology, hydrology and biogeochemistry of an extreme nitrogen
deposition event that occurred in the highly glacierised environment of the European High …

Solute chemistry and stable isotope tracers of NO 3− were used to assess bacterial NO 3−
production and denitrification in a High Arctic glacial ecosystem during 2009. Changes in …

Improvements in our ability to model runoff from glaciers remain an important scientific goal.
This paper describes a new temperature‐radiation‐index glacier melt model specifically …

The morphology of englacial drainage networks and their temporal evolution are poorly
characterised, particularly within cold ice masses. At present, direct observations of …
