Satellite remote sensing is an effective way to monitor vast extents of global glaciers and
snowfields. However, satellite remote sensing is limited by spatial and temporal resolutions …

Glaciers and ice sheets are melting in response to climate warming. Whereas the physical
behaviour of glaciers has been studied intensively, the biological processes associated with …

Background Glacier ice archives information, including microbiology, that helps reveal
paleoclimate histories and predict future climate change. Though glacier-ice microbes are …

Glaciers and Glaciation is the classic textbook for all students of glaciation. Stimulating and
accessible, it has established a reputation as a comprehensive and essential resource. In …

There is now compelling evidence that microbially mediated reactions impart a significant
effect upon the dynamics, composition, and abundance of nutrients in glacial melt water …

Cryoconite is granular sediment found on glacier surfaces comprising both mineral and
biological material. Despite long having been recognised as an important glaciological and …

Cryoconite holes, which can cover 0.1–10% of the surface area of glaciers, are small, water‐
filled depressions (typically< 1 m in diameter and usually< 0.5 m deep) that form on the …

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 …

In this paper, we evaluate the impact of mineral dust (MD) on snow radiative properties in
the European Alps at ground, aerial, and satellite scale. A field survey was conducted to …

The diversity of highly active bacterial communities in cryoconite holes on three Arctic
glaciers in Svalbard was investigated using terminal restriction fragment length …
