(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 ... -
(University of Iceland, School of Health Sciences, Faculty of Psychology, 2020-11)Visual attention has traditionally been studied with single-target search tasks where observers look for a single target and make a response, then the search is over and the trial ends. These studies have furthered our knowledge of visual attention ...

(American Geophysical Union (AGU), 2020-08-31)Volcanic ash in the atmosphere is a hazard to aviation. To predict which areas of airspace are most likely to be affected by the presence of ash, Volcanic Ash Advisory Centers (VAACs) use observations and atmospheric dispersion models. These models are ...
