By integrating a global dataset of glacierized catchment streamflow with geodetic estimates of glacier mass loss, we explore the spatial and seasonal patterns of streamflow change.
Changing subglacial and groundwater flow under retreating glaciers in Svalbard
Retreating glaciers change the permafrost and hence groundwater flow which can lead to enhanced release of geological methane. We present field measurements and simulations to this phenomenon.
Evaluating a variable-resolution physically based snow model through intensive monitoring at high-mountain experimental catchments: lessons learned and future directions.
We test a snowdrift-permitting variable resolution snow model at an experimental catchment in the Andes Cordillera of Central chile, and diagnose avenues for further development.
Elevation-dependent changes in temperature extremes and possible driving mechanisms in the Greater Alpine Region
The study explores the elevational stratification of temperature extremes trends across the Greater Alpine Region (ERA5 and E-OBS data), revealing distinct elevational patterns and assessing drivers.
Seasonal predictions of meteorological and snow depth anomalies: skill assessment in the Alpine Region
We assess the skill of seasonal forecast systems in predicting meteorological anomalies and snow water equivalent in the Alpine region, improving drought risk assessment and hydrological forecasting.
High resolution atmospheric modelling of high-altitude precipitation patterns and dynamics in the Third Pole region.
High resolution WRF model simulations are performed to improve our understanding of high-altitude precipitation patterns, dynamics, and corresponding atmospheric processes in the Third Pole region.
Simulating Avalanches in a Warming Climate: lessons from Wet and Dry Slab Events in the Western Tatras
As climate change increases wet snow avalanches relative frequency, results from simulations with the TRENT2D* model show that we must distinguish between wet and dry events to increase accuracy.
Darkening Ice in Central Asia? Assessing Bare-Ice Albedo Variability and Its Impact on Glacier Melt for Abramov and Golubin Glaciers
We investigated sub-seasonal and inter-anual bare-ice albedo variability on Abramov and Golubin glaciers from 1999 to 2022 and its implications for glacier melt.
Seasonal variability of glacier algae at the Morteratsch Glacier (Swiss Alps)
The positive ice-albedo feedback is known to affect the glacier melting. Here we analysed the effect of glacier algae over an Alpine glacier, through remote and field observations and modelling.
Distinct Hydro-geomorphic Processes Govern Bedload and Suspended Sediment Transport and Evacuation from Glaciers
Glaciers supply fine and large sediment to mountain river systems. This study uses discharge records and modeling to show that the glacial processes driving suspended and bedload evacuation differ.
