Owing to usual logistic hardships related to field-based cryospheric research, remote
sensing has played a significant role in understanding the frozen components of the Earth …

Commonly known as the Asian Water Tower, glaciers in the Tibetan Plateau (TP) and its
surrounding regions are vital to the regional water cycle and water resources in the …

Rainfall at the Greenland ice sheet Summit 14 August 2021, was delivered by an
atmospheric river (AR). Extreme surface ablation expanded the all‐Greenland bare ice area …

The Snow, Ice, and Aerosol Radiative (SNICAR) model has been used in various capacities
over the last 15 years to model the spectral albedo of snow with light-absorbing constituents …

Abstract Melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet is a leading cause of land-ice mass loss and
cryosphere-attributed sea level rise. Blooms of pigmented glacier ice algae lower ice albedo …

We present the first estimate of green snow algae community biomass and distribution along
the Antarctic Peninsula. Sentinel 2 imagery supported by two field campaigns revealed 1679 …

Wildfire occurrence and severity is predicted to increase in the upcoming decades with
severe negative impacts on human societies. The impacts of upwind wildfire activity on …

Mineral dust emissions from Saharan sources have an impact on the atmospheric
environment and sedimentary units in distant regions. Here, we present the first systematic …

The melting of glaciers and ice sheets is nowadays considered a symbol of climate change.
Many complex mechanisms are involved in the melting of ice, and, among these processes …

Tropical glaciers are extremely sensitive to changes of climate variables. Their response to
climate change is complex and depends on multiple mechanisms affecting their mass and …
