  1. 1. Remote Sensing of Cryospheric Surfaces : Small Scale Surface Roughness Signatures in Satellite Altimetry Data

    Uppsats för yrkesexamina på avancerad nivå, Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

    Författare :Petter Ideström; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Remote sensing; Altimetry; Arctic; Cryosphere; ICESat-2; Cryosat-2; Svalbard;

    Sammanfattning : The Arctic cryosphere is experiencing a higher rate of warming compared to the rest of the world due to Arctic amplification. As glacier elevation change provide reliable evidence of climate change it is routinely measured by satellite altimeters. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Analysing seasonal snow cover trends and patterns on Svalbard

    Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapslära

    Författare :Dhruv Maniktala; [2022]
    Nyckelord :snow cover; snow disappearance; snow onset; snow-free duration; CARRA; Svalbard;

    Sammanfattning : Rapid warming in the Arctic is highly impacting the cryosphere in the region, causing melting of the sea ice, retreat of glaciers and reduction in the snow cover. If suffering further temperature increase, the albedo of the region would reduce due to higher absorption of the solar radiation in snow-free areas. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Foreland evolution of Blåisen, Norway, over the course of an ablation season

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

    Författare :Alexander Hamilton-Foyn; [2020]
    Nyckelord :Geomorphological Mapping; Structure from Motion; Glacial Landforms; Ice-Marginal Landforms; Landform Preservation; Hardangerjøkulen; Norway; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : This study presents a detailed investigation into the evolution of sedimentary landforms over an ablation season at Blåisen, an outlet of the Hardangerjøkulen Icecap, Norway. The two visits to Blåisen, one each side of the ablation season, allowed the preservation and evolution of the landforms to be studied. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Assessing evolution of ice caps in Suðurland, Iceland, in years 1986 - 2014, using multispectral satellite imagery

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Författare :Alicja Miodonska; [2019]
    Nyckelord :remote sensing; multispectral satellite imagery; Landsat; Iceland; glaciers; ice caps; Geography; GIS; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : The study focuses on the application of multispectral satellite imageries in glaciological studies. It aims to assess how the Icelandic glaciers have evolved over the last decades (from the 1980s to 2014). The study area covers Mýrdalsjökull and Eyjafjallajökull ice caps located in Suðurland, Iceland. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Snow insulation effects across the Arctic : evaluating a revised snow module in LPJ-GUESS

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Författare :Alexandra Pongrácz; [2019]
    Nyckelord :active layer depth; Arctic; LPJ-GUESS; snow; soil temperature; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : The effect of future changes in temperature and precipitation patterns on arctic ecosystem functioning is often assessed using state-of-the-art ecosystem models. Many models however lack detailed representation of wintertime processes, as pointed out by recent studies (Wang et al. 2016, Slater and Lawrence 2013). LÄS MER
