Recent progress in understanding marine-terminating Arctic outlet glacier response to climatic and oceanic forcing: Twenty years of rapid change 23 Jul 2013 | 02:10 pm

Until relatively recently, it was assumed that Arctic ice masses would respond to climatic/oceanic forcing over millennia, but observations made during the past two decades have radically altered this...

Anchor ice in polar oceans 23 Jul 2013 | 02:10 pm

One feature of high-latitude areas is the formation of ice clusters attached to the beds of rivers, lakes and the sea. This anchor ice, as it is widely known, plays an important role in mobilizing bed...

Subnivean Arctic and sub-Arctic net ecosystem exchange (NEE): Towards representing snow season processes in models of NEE using cryospheric remote sen... 23 Jul 2013 | 02:10 pm

In the Arctic and sub-Arctic, up to half of annual net ecosystem exchange (NEE) occurs during the snow season. Subnivean soil respiration can persist at a greater rate when the overlying snowpack has ...

Risk assessment of simultaneous debris flows in mountain townships 23 Jul 2013 | 02:10 pm

Many mountain towns in China are located on the joint alluvial fans of multiple and adjacent past debris flows, making them vulnerable to large, multiple, and simultaneous debris flows during heavy ra...

Referencing practices in physical geography: How well do we cite what we write? 23 Jul 2013 | 02:10 pm

Accurate citation practices are important, from both an ethical and a scientific point of view. Using an easily reproducible, previously published method, we assess citation accuracy in 120 articles p...

Coasts and climate: Insights from geomorphology 23 Jul 2013 | 02:10 pm

Geomorphology is increasingly engaged with the connections between coastal behaviour and climate variability and change. While impacts of climate change at the coast are often primarily viewed in term...

Gove Hambidge (ed.), Climate and Man: The 1941 Yearbook of Agriculture. Washington, DC: United States Government Printing Office 23 Jul 2013 | 02:10 pm

This work marked the beginning of a new phase in applied climatology. After this work, new manuscripts would not just incorporate the rote description of statistics or regions, but attempt to place ph...

Morphological evidence for geologically young thaw of ice on Mars: A review of recent studies using high-resolution imaging data 29 May 2013 | 07:32 pm

Liquid water is generally only meta-stable on Mars today; it quickly freezes, evaporates or boils in the cold, dry, thin atmosphere (surface pressure is about 200 times lower than on Earth). Neverthel...
