    Climate change impacts on future snow, ice and rain runoff in a Swiss mountain catchment using multi-dataset calibration 
    Etter, Simon; Addor, Nans; Huss, Matthias; Finger, David C. (Elsevier BV, 2017-10)
    Study region The hydropower reservoir of Gigerwald is located in the alpine valley Calfeisental in eastern Switzerland. The lake is fed by runoff from rain, snow melt and ice melt from a few small glaciers, as well as by water collected in a ...

    Entirely off-grid and solar-powered DNA sequencing of microbial communities during an ice cap traverse expedition 
    Gowers, Glen-Oliver. F.; Vince, Oliver; Charles, John-Henry; Klarenberg, Ingeborg J.; Ellis, Tom; Edwards, Arwyn (MDPI AG, 2019-11-07)
    Microbial communities in remote locations remain under-studied. This is particularly true on glaciers and icecaps, which cover approximately 11% of the Earth’s surface. The principal reason for this is the inaccessibility of most of these areas due ...

    Holocene glacial history of Svalbard: Status, perspectives and challenges 
    Farnsworth, Wesley; Allaart, Lis; Ingolfsson, Olafur; Alexanderson, Helena; Forwick, Matthias; Noormets, Riko; Retelle, Michael; Schomacker, Anders (Elsevier BV, 2020-09)
    We synthesize the current understanding of glacier activity on Svalbard from the end of the Late Pleistocene (12,000 yrs. before present) to the end of the Little Ice Age (c. 1920 AD). Our glacier history is derived from the SVALHOLA database, the first ...

    Modeling of energy and mass balance using remote sensing for seasonal snow and glaciers in Iceland 
    Gunnarsson, Andri (University of Iceland, School of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering, 2022-09-12)
    Snow and glacier research is important in Iceland for a variety of reasons. Water resource forecasting for hydro-power production is important and monitoring of long-term changes and trends provide guidance for adoption strategies due to climate ...

    The onset of neoglaciation in Iceland and the 4.2 ka event 
    Geirsdóttir, Áslaug; Miller, G H; Andrews, John Thomas; Harning, David; Anderson, Leif S.; Florian, Christopher; Larsen, Darren; Thordarson, Thorvaldur (Copernicus GmbH, 2019-01-08)
    Strong similarities in Holocene climate reconstructions derived from multiple proxies (BSi, TOC – total organic carbon, δ13C, C∕N, MS – magnetic susceptibility, δ15N) preserved in sediments from both glacial and non-glacial lakes across Iceland indicate ...

    Refining the climate, glacier, and volcanic history of Iceland during the Holocene 
    Harning, David (University of Iceland, School of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Faculty of Earth Sciences, 2019-04)
    Iceland’s position at the confluence of major oceanic and atmospheric fronts results in a highly sensitive climate evident in both instrumental and paleo records. However, open questions still remain regarding the pre-instrumental evolution of climate, ...

    Sensitivity of Glacier Runoff to Winter Snow Thickness Investigated for Vatnajökull Ice Cap, Iceland, Using Numerical Models and Observations 
    Schmidt, Louise Steffensen; Langen, Peter; Adalgeirsdottir, Gudfinna; Pálsson, Finnur; Guðmundsson, Sverrir; Gunnarsson, Andri (MDPI AG, 2018-11-15)
    Several simulations of the surface climate and energy balance of Vatnajökull ice cap, Iceland, are used to estimate the glacier runoff for the period 1980–2015 and the sensitivity of runoff to the spring conditions (e.g., snow thickness). The simulations ...
