Influence of distributed snow and firn cover evolution on glacier surface mass change., RIS ID 11152

The glaciers of Svalbard are undergoing profound change due to climate forcing. Precipitation and temperature changes are leading to changes in the timing and duration of the melt period, the type of ice undergoing accumulation (firn versus frozen liquid precipitation or snowmelt) and the overall...

Analysis pipeline for sea ice reconstructions using ancient environmental DNA

Current models of past sea ice reconstruction in the Arctic rely on a combination of microfossils and chemical bio-markers in sediments in order to extrapolate past sea ice extent. In order to address some of the weaknesses inherent in these traditional sea ice proxies, the recently funded KLIMAF...

Investigation of current surge dynamics of Tunabreen; RIS ID 10913

The proposed fieldwork will be focused on surging glaciers, and specifically will take place at Tunabreen, a tidewater surge type glacier. Its behaviour has suggested a regular 35-40 year interval, between one active phase and another; thus, glaciologists were not expecting any sudden advance bef...

Kongsvegen Glacier Surge Dynamics

A major uncertainty in the contribution of glaciers to sea level rise is the role of glacier dynamics, and is particularly complicated for surge-type glaciers, where even the primary controls on glacier motion are poorly understood.
