Influence of basal ice shelf conditions on ice sheet stability in Dronning Maud Land through radio-echo sounding and ice-sheet modelling.

Radio-echo sounding is a widespread remote sensing method used in glaciology to obtain a wide range of information concerning boundary conditions of ice sheets. Radar emits electromagnetic waves. They propagate through the ice until they encounter dielect ric heterogeneities. The central concept ...

Analysis of genetic diversity and population subdivision of Halys pit-viper (Gloydius halys) at the different spatial levels

Genetic diversity is one of the most important factors affecting viability of populations. Loss of genetic diversity can lead to inbreeding depression, reduction of the adaptive potential and weak tolerance of population to diseases, parasites and other s tressors. Thus, the understanding of how ...
