Landform evolution of Oudemans crater and its bounding plateau plains on Mars: Geomorphological constraints on the Tharsis ice-cap hypothesis
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Icarus"
DOI: 10.1016/j.icarus.2021.114332
Abstract: Abstract In this study we address the question of whether the Tharsis rise that occupies ~25 % of the surface area of Mars was once covered by an ice cap, and the sudden ice-cap melting… read more here.

Holocene glacier and climate variations in Vestfirðir, Iceland, from the modeling of Drangajökull ice cap
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Quaternary Science Reviews"
DOI: 10.1016/j.quascirev.2018.04.024
Abstract: Abstract Drangajokull is a maritime ice cap located in northwest (Vestfirðir) Iceland. Drangajokull's evolution is therefore closely linked to atmospheric and ocean variability. In order to better constrain the Holocene climate and glacier history of… read more here.

Holocene glacial history of Renland Ice Cap, East Greenland, reconstructed from lake sediments

DOI: 10.1016/j.quascirev.2021.106883
Abstract: Abstract Shrinking glaciers, melting permafrost, and reduced sea ice all indicate rapid contraction of the Arctic cryosphere in response to present-day climate warming, a trajectory that is expected to continue, if not accelerate. The reaction… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.rse.2020.111832
Abstract: Abstract Contemporary estimates of glacier changes are necessary to assess the impact of climate change, associated hazards and water resources management. Glaciers in High Mountain Asia (HMA) are mostly retreating except the Karakoram and western… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/s0954102021000080
Abstract: Abstract The Cook Ice Cap (CIC) on the sub-Antarctic Kerguelen Islands recently experienced extremely negative surface mass balance. Further deglaciation could have important impacts on endemic and invasive fauna and flora. To put this exceptional… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-018-33698-z
Abstract: We analyze the future state of Quelccaya Ice Cap (QIC), the world’s largest tropical ice cap with a summit elevation of 5680 m a.s.l., which, in terms of its elevation range (~5300–5680 m a.s.l.), is representative of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/02723646.2020.1839212
Abstract: ABSTRACT Dramatic shifts in sea and terrestrial ice coverage across the Arctic has prompted urgent calls for systematic glacier and ice cap monitoring efforts. We use satellite-derived data from NASA’s Landsat 5 Thematic Mapper (TM)… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/17445647.2020.1838353
Abstract: ABSTRACT The Devon Ice Cap (DIC) is one of the largest ice masses in the Canadian Arctic. Each summer, extensive supraglacial river networks develop on the DIC surface and route large volumes of meltwater from… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/su13084183
Abstract: Microplastic particles, as a second-phase material in ice, may contribute to the effect such particles have on the melting and rheological behaviour of glaciers, and thus influence the future meltwater contribution to the oceans and… read more here.
