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 …

The manner by which meltwater drains through a glacier is critical to ice dynamics, runoff
characteristics, and water quality. However, much of the contemporary knowledge relating to …

The evidence for the Little Ice Age, the most important fluctuation in global climate in
historical times, is most dramatically represented by the advance of mountain glaciers in the …

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 …

Switches between cold‐and warm‐based conditions have long been invoked to explain
surges of High Arctic glaciers. Here we compile existing and new data on the thermal regime …

A characteristic feature of ground penetrating radar (GPR) surveys on polythermal glaciers is
an internal reflection presumably caused by the cold temperate transition surface (CTS) …

Surging glaciers are potential analogues for land-terminating palaeo-ice streams and
surging ice sheet lobes, and research on surge-type glaciers is important for understanding …

Although measurements of thickness and internal structure of glaciers are substantial for the
understanding of their evolution and response to climate change, detailed data about …

Svalbard has experienced a dramatic increase in air temperature and glacier retreat since
the end of the Little Ice Age. In many cases, this retreat has resulted in glaciers transitioning …

Svalbard is a heavily glacier-covered archipelago in the Arctic. Dickson Land (DL), in the
central part of the largest island, Spitsbergen, is relatively arid and, as a result, glaciers there …
