Glaciers play a crucial role in the Earth System: they are important water suppliers to lower‐
lying areas during hot and dry periods, and they are major contributors to the observed …

Little is known about the sources and environmental behavior of organophosphate esters
(OPEs) in the Arctic, especially their transformation products. The present study …

Mountains are highly diverse in areal extent, geological and climatic context, ecosystems
and human activity. As such, mountain environments worldwide are particularly sensitive to …

Advancements in remote sensing have led to the development of Geographic Object-Based
Image Analysis (GEOBIA). This method of information extraction focuses on segregating …

The ability to simulate the surface energy balance is key to studying land–atmosphere
interactions; however, it remains a weakness in Arctic polar sciences. Based on the analysis …

This study explores the ice flow acceleration (21.1%) of Pedersenbreen during 2016–2017
after the extremely warm winter throughout the whole Arctic in 2015/2016 using in situ data …

This study explores the ice volumes of Urumqi Glacier No. 1 from 2013 to 2112 to examine
the changes in the runoff of the glacier. Based on the Sixth Assessment Report of the …

In recent years, increasing moisture over the Arctic and subarctic regions shows that the
Arctic is experiencing wetting conditions, and poleward atmospheric moisture transport …

The cryosphere is a critical element of Earth's integrated biogeochemical and radiative
forcing (energy balance) system. The global cryosphere is fundamentally controlled by …

Contemporary climate change affects the cryosphere; the thermal changes at stake today
are limited compared to the great climatic oscillations that affected the Earth, particularly …
