We synthesize the current understanding of glacier activity on Svalbard from the end of the
Late Pleistocene (12,000 yrs. before present) to the end of the Little Ice Age (c. 1920 AD) …

Arctic precipitation is predicted to increase in the coming century, due to a combination of
enhanced northward atmospheric moisture transport and local surface evaporation from ice …

Abstract Changes in the properties and dynamics of tidewater glacier systems are key
indicators of the state of Arctic climate and environment. Calving of tidewater glacier fronts is …

Crevasse‐squeeze ridges (CSRs) are landforms that have been unequivocally linked to
surge‐type glaciers. The formation of CSRs has been discussed since they were first …

The deglaciation history and Holocene environmental evolution of northern Wijdefjorden,
Svalbard, are reconstructed using sediment cores and acoustic data (multibeam swath …

Glacial meltwater is an important source of bioessential trace elements to high latitude
oceans. Upon delivery to coastal waters, glacially sourced particulate trace elements are …

Detailed geomorphological map** was carried out in the terrestrial and submarine
forefields of Protektor-, Harriet-and Kjerulfbreen in Trygghamna, western Svalbard, based on …

Quaternary glaciations have created impressive landform assemblages that can be used to
understand palaeo-glacier extent, character and behaviour, and hence past global and local …

Glacier surges are cyclic oscillations of velocity and mass resulting from internal dynamic
instabilities. For surge-type glaciers, cycles of advance and retreat are decoupled from …

We assess the evolution of glaciological structures during the 2003–05 surge in the
Paulabreen glacier system, Svalbard. Glaciological structures on the glacier surface were …
