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 …

This paper summarizes the most significant snow-related research that has been conducted
in Svalbard. Most of the research has been performed during the 1990s and includes …

A simple snow model with only three parameters (fresh snow albedo, albedo decay rate for
melting snow, and surface roughness) is used to simulate snow accumulation and melt at …

Progressive glacier thinning, retreat and mass loss in the High-Arctic is increasingly
exposing forefield sediments to processes of mobilisation and redistribution. In this paper …

Relatively little is known about the glacier mass balance of Svalbard in the first half of the
twentieth century. Here, we present the first century-long climatic mass balance time series …

An evaluation of the Canadian Land Surface Scheme (CLASS) 3.1 snow cover simulations
at four sites included in the Snow Model Intercomparison Project (SnowMIP) revealed that …

A terrestrial hydrological model, developed to simulate the high‐latitude water cycle, is
described, along with comparisons with observed data across the pan‐Arctic drainage …

A cryoconite granule is a near-spherical aggregation of biota and abiotic particles found
upon glacier surfaces. Recently, microstructural studies have revealed that photosynthetic …

Nitrogen availability in Arctic ecosystems is a key driver for biological activity, including
plant, growth and thereby directly linked to the greening of the Arctic. Here, we model the …

Gauges modify wind fields, producing important systematic errors (undercatching) in the
measurement of solid precipitation (Ps), especially under windy conditions. A methodology …
