Unlike glaciers in other parts of the world, Karakoram glaciers seem to be stable or gaining
in mass in response to global climate change, a phenomenon known as 'the Karakoram …

Controls on the global distribution of surge-type glaciers hold the keys to a better
understanding of surge mechanisms. We investigate correlations between the distribution of …

This paper is the first to summarize research on fluctuations of local glaciers in Greenland
(eg ice caps and mountain glaciers independent of the Greenland Ice Sheet) during latest …

We present the first general theory of glacier surging that includes both temperate and
polythermal glacier surges, based on coupled mass and enthalpy budgets. Enthalpy (in the …

Widespread retreat of glaciers has been observed along the southeastern margin of
Greenland. This retreat has been associated with increased air and ocean temperatures …

Active rock glaciers represent the best visual expression of mountain permafrost that can be
mapped and monitored directly using remotely sensed data. Active rock glaciers are bodies …

Temperature reconstructions for recent centuries provide a historical context for the warming
over the twentieth century. We reconstruct annual averaged surface temperatures of the past …

Snow patterns in ice-free areas of Greenland play important roles in ecosystems. Within a
changing climate, a comprehensive understanding of the snow responses to climate change …

Glacier fluctuations contribute to variations in sea level and historical glacier length
fluctuations are natural indicators of past climate change. To study these subjects, long-term …

During past periods of advance, Arctic glaciers and ice sheets overrode soil, sediments, and
vegetation and buried significant stores of organic matter (OM); these glaciers are now …
