Approximately 60% of Svalbard's land areas are glaciated at the present time. The
Archipelago has more than 1100 glaciers (> 1 km 2) and 163 of these are “tidewater …

Understanding Greenland ice sheet (GrIS) hydrology is essential for evaluating response of
ice dynamics to a warming climate and future contributions to global sea level rise. Recently …

The melting of glaciers and ice caps accounts for about one-third of current sea-level rise,–,
exceeding the mass loss from the more voluminous Greenland or Antarctic Ice Sheets,. The …

Observations show that glaciers around the world are in retreat and losing mass.
Internationally coordinated for over a century, glacier monitoring activities provide an …

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 …

Since the first estimates of Svalbard-wide glacier mass balance were made in the early
2000s, there has been great progress in remote sensing and modeling of mass balance …

The climate in Svalbard is undergoing amplified change compared to the global mean. This
has major implications for runoff from glaciers and seasonal snow on land. We use a …

We have tested three methods for estimating 2003–2008 elevation changes of Svalbard
glaciers from multi-temporal ICESat laser altimetry:(a) linear interpolation of crossover points …

Isfjorden, a broad Arctic fjord in western Spitsbergen, has shown significant changes in
hydrography and inflow of Atlantic Water (AW) the last decades that only recently have been …

The purpose of this study is to describe the current state of tidewater glaciers in Svalbard as
an extension of the inventory of Hagen et al.(1993). The ice masses of Svalbard cover an …
