Linking past and present surge dynamics at Borebreen from drone surveys

Svalbard has a high density of surging glaciers – marine and terrestrial glaciers which undergo cyclical changes between fast (active) and slow (quiescence) flow. During the active phase, ice discharge accelerates and mass loss increases which significantly impacts glacier mass balance. However, ...

Resolving the Impact of Changing Arctic Precipitation on Svalbard Ice Mass Balance

The Arctic is warming at almost four times the mean global rate (Rantanen et al., 2022) and is becoming increasingly wetter: a trend that is predicted to continue as the Arctic Ocean becomes Atlantified, with rapid decline in sea-ice which is now at an all-time minimum (Bailey et al., 2021). Terr...

Global glacier modeling: Do non-linear feedbacks matter for century-scale projections?

Isbreer over hele verden trekker seg tilbake og blir tynnere på grunn av global oppvarming. Dette påvirker direkte havnivåstigning, vannføring i elver og brerelaterte farer. Resultater fra numeriske modeller som simulerer breendringene inn i fremtiden har vist at betydelige bremassetap vil fortse...
