Annual changes in firn density and compaction under Alpine Climate conditions: first multi-year CMP radar observations from the Grosser Aletschgletscher

Annual changes in firn density and compaction under Alpine Climate conditions: first multi-year CMP radar observations from the Grosser Aletschgletscher

Abstract. The glacier mass balance is driven by primary processes such as snowfall and surface melt. Secondary processes, like firn pack warming, percolation, and refreezing, are becoming more important even in high-elevation basins, which are triggered by warming Alpine regions. All these processes are functionally re...

Measuring Annual Geodetic Mass Balance of Brewster Glacier Using 'Structure-from-Motion' Photogrammetry: Implications for Anthropogenic Climate Change Attribution

Alpine glaciers are key indicators of climate change due to their high sensitivity to small variations in temperature and precipitation. As global temperatures rise, glaciers have declined rapidly, highlighting one of the negative impacts of anthropogenic climate change. For this reason, monitoring glaciers is essentia...

Spatial heterogeneity in post-fire permafrost evolution as revealed by satellite radar observations

Investigation of glacier mass balance based on multi-source observation in the Karakoram over the past 25 years

The “Karakoram Anomaly” — the atypical stability of glaciers in a warming climate—has introduced considerable uncertainty into projections of regional water resources. However, the resilience of this anomaly under sustained climate forcing remains poorly quantified. In this study, multi-source geodetic data (ASTER, NAS...
