Measurements were conducted in coniferous forests of differing density, insolation and latitude to test whether air temperatures are suitable surrogates for canopy temperature in estimating sub-canopy longwave irradiance ...

Climates inferred from former glacier geometries in some areas exhibit discrepancies with regional palaeoclimates predicted by General Circulation Models (GCMs) and modelling of palaeoecological data, possibly as a consequence ...

The mass balance of polythermal ice masses is critically dependent on the proportion of surface-generated meltwater that subsequently refreezes in the snowpack and firn. In order to quantify this effect and to characterize ...

The Greenland Ice Sheet is thinning at an accelerating pace and the ice sheet’s contribution to sea-level rise has doubled in less than a decade. New data show rapid and widespread changes in the behaviour of the ice sheet, ...

This paper describes the landform and sediment assemblage produced by a surge (in 1948) of the Kongsvegen/Kronebreen tidewater glacier complex in northwest Spitsbergen. The main geomorphological products of this advance ...

The northern Antarctic Peninsula region has undergone ~10 m.y. of eruptive activity by basaltic volcanoes, mainly in subglacial settings. Spectacular exposures of lava-fed deltas, capped by basalt flows and commonly underlain ...

This paper presents the evidence for Late Pleistocene and Holocene palaeoclimate and glacier fluctuations of the two major icefields in Patagonia, the Hielo Patagónico Norte (47°00′S, 73°39′W) and the Hielo Patagónico Sur ...

There is clear geomorphological and dating evidence to suggest that the mountains of western Ireland were sensitive to North Atlantic cooling episodes throughout the Lateglacial period. In the mountains of the Macgillycuddy’s ...

Enhanced oil recovery has been documented in sandstone reservoirs where solutions of decreased salinity have been used for water flooding. Injected water with salinities (total dissolved solids) of 8000 ppm or less has ...
