  1. 16. Shallow near-surface lapse rates and their connection to glacier meteorology on Storglaciären and Rabots glaciär, Northern Sweden

    Master-uppsats, Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi

    Författare :Moon Taveirne; [2022]
    Nyckelord :Temperature lapse rate; glacier meteorology; near-­surface lapse rate; ablation gradient;

    Sammanfattning : Glacier melt is strongly impacted by climate and meteorology. Temperature lapse rates are used to model glacier melt, and the accuracy of the spatial distribution of modelled melt can be impacted by the lapse rate used in modelling. Additionally, the observed spatial distribution of melt is highly temporally variable. LÄS MER

  3. 17. Effect of image in the time of covid-19 and climate change

    Master-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet/HDK-Valand - Högskolan för konst och design

    Författare :Armand Tamboly; [2021-01-15]
    Nyckelord :Covid-19; Photography;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of this essay is to discuss and try to understand the role of image it’s effect on forming our way of thinking and ideology, specifically in relation to nature crisis and pandemics. On the other side I’m also willing to bring attention to our our cosuming lifestyle and it’s impact on the climate. LÄS MER

  4. 18. Surface crevasses on Svalbard: Spatial Distribution Analysis with Focus on the Lomonosovfonna Ice Cap

    Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Författare :Monika Hawrylak; [2021]
    Nyckelord :crevasses; spatial distribution; model; glacier velocity; Lomonosovfonna; Svalbard;

    Sammanfattning : Understanding the formation mechanics of glacial crevasses is crucial in a variety of glacial applications. Besides being a serious safety hazard during field campaigns, crevasses influence calving rates, mass balance, and the hydrological network of glaciers. LÄS MER

  5. 19. Multi-method based characterization of calving events at Sálajiegna Glacier - Lake Sulitelma, Northern Sweden

    Master-uppsats, Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi

    Författare :Martin Schulthess; [2021]
    Nyckelord :Glaciology; Glacier; Glaciers; Calving; calving front; detection algorithm; Acoustic; Acoustics; Photogrammetry; ice-ocean interactions; UAV; drone; time-lapse; Salajiegna;

    Sammanfattning : Sea level rise concerns millions of people in coastal areas across the globe. One of the largest uncertainties to project future sea level rise is the frontal ablation (accounting for calving and submarine melt) at marine ice margins, around the Greenland and Antarctic Ice Sheet.

  7. 20. Modelling the effects of climate change on ice dynamics at Kangerlussuaq Glacier, Greenland

    Master-uppsats, Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi

    Författare :Jamie Barnett; [2021]
    Nyckelord :Glacier; Greenland; Ice Sheet; Outlet; Discharge; Sea level; Kangerlussuaq; calving; ice mélange; melt; retreat;

    Sammanfattning : A consequence of climate change is rising global sea levels, predicted to bring increased socio-economic and environmental impacts to coastal communities. The Greenland Ice Sheet has become a prominent contributor to rising sea levels, a consequence of the Arctic warming at twice the rate of the global average. LÄS MER
