Glaciers draining to the Hornsund basin (southern Spitsbergen, Svalbard) have experienced
a significant retreat and mass volume loss over the last decades, increasing the input of …

Metals and metalloids in snow on glaciers, depending on the season of deposition, may
come from various sources: local rock dust (erosion of the geological substratum), marine …

In this study, we assess the accuracy and precision of digital elevation models (DEM)
retrieved from aerial photographs taken in 2011 and from Very High Resolution satellite …

Rapid Arctic warming results in increased winter rain frequencies, which may impact glacial
systems. In this paper, we discuss climatology and precipitation form trends, followed by …

Abstract Changes in glacier facies (glacier zones), such as firn or superimposed ice (SI), are
good indicators of glacier response to climate change. They are especially important for fast …

The temporal and spatial variability of heavy metal distribution was studied in an Arctic fjord
(Hornsund, Spitsbergen). Seawater from 8 sampling stations and 3 sampling depths was …

Changes in glacier zones (eg, firn, superimposed ice, ice) are good indicators of glacier
response to climate change. There are few studies of glacier zone detection by SAR that are …

Next to the ocean, snow is the second largest interface between the atmosphere and Earth's
surface during winter. Snow deposited on land or ice surfaces is thermodynamically …

In recent years, the Svalbard area, especially its southern section, has been characterised
by an exceptionally thin snow cover, which has a significant impact of the annual mass …

Snow cover is a key element in the water cycle, global heat balance and in the condition of
glaciers. Characterised by high temporal and spatial variability, it is subject to short-and long …
