  1. 6. Long-term glacier mass balance of Nordenskiöldbreen, Svalbard

    Kandidat-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Författare :Sara Wiklund; [2016]
    Nyckelord :Mass balance; climate change; glacier; Svalbard; Massbalans; klimatförändring; glaciär; Svalbard;

    Sammanfattning : The global warming that’s taking place have an impact over the Earth and the glaciers on Svalbard are undergoing rapid changes as a result. The annual air temperature has been rising on Svalbard since the early 1900’s and in a climate projection expected temperatures continue to rise. LÄS MER

  3. 7. External Conditions Effects on the Self-Organised Criticality of the Calving Glacier Front of Tunabreen, Svalbard

    Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Författare :Pontus Westrin; [2015]
    Nyckelord :Calving; calving model; self-organized criticality; glacier dynamics; Tunabreen; Kalvning; kalvningsmodell; self-organized criticality; glaciärdynamik; Tunabreen;

    Sammanfattning : Mass balance processes in glaciers are important for determining the growth or retreat of ice. Calving, the mechanical breakage of ice bergs from a glacier front, is a poorly understood phenomenon. This process has great importance to the mass balance of many glaciers, for example on Antarctica and in the Arctic. A recent paper by Åström et al. LÄS MER

  4. 8. Försämrad korrelation mellan storleken av Kebnekaises sydtoppsglaciär och andra klimatindikatorer

    Kandidat-uppsats, Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och kvartärgeologi (INK)

    Författare :Albert Storby; [2014]
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) recognizes glaciers as the best land-indicator of climate change. A variety of studies have concluded, using both modeling and field studies, that above all climate parameters precipitation, particularly winter precipitation, and summer temperature controls the change in glacier mass balance.

  5. 9. Turbulens och supraglacial meandring

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

    Författare :Gustav Carlsson; [1997]
    Nyckelord :geografi; naturgeografi; turbulens; supraglacial; meandring; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : The fieldwork was carried out on Bas Glacier d'Arolla during two days in August 1996. The aim of the study was to verify the existence of a relationship between turbulence and meander geometry according to the theory of Yalin (1992). LÄS MER
