Accelerated mass loss of glaciers across Alaska since the Little Ice Age

Abstract Alaskan glaciers presently dominate contributions to global glacier mass loss and are projected to do so throughout the 21 st Century. Here we assess centennial-scale evolution and mass loss of 5289 Little Ice Age (LIA) glaciers by mapping geomorphological evidence of gl...

Glacier surges on James Ross Island, Antarctica, and their relationship with climate

Abstract. Although the Antarctic Peninsula has a similar climate to that of other regions hosting surge-type glaciers, only one glacier surge has been previously observed in this region. We examined ice surface velocity, elevation and terminus position changes of Antarctic Penins...
