Climatic warming, glacier recession and runoff from Alpine basins after the Little Ice Age maximum
Records of discharge of rivers draining Alpine basins with between 0 and 70% ice cover, in the upper Aare and Rhône catchments, Switzerland, for the period 1894–2006 have been examined together with climatic data for 1866–2006, with a view to assessing the effects on runoff from glacierized basins of climatic warming coupled with glacier recession following the Little Ice Age maximum. Annual ru...

annual meeting of the BAAS in 1927 that there should be a comprehensive moratorium on scientific research. She also draws on the controversy to deconstruct dominant representations of rationality and Englishness. Working in the underresearched field of the history of inter-war university education, Keith Vernon describes University Grants Commission-inspired efforts to inculcate "culturally dep...
متن کاملErosion by an Alpine glacier.
Assessing the impact of glaciation on Earth's surface requires understanding glacial erosion processes. Developing erosion theories is challenging because of the complex nature of the erosion processes and the difficulty of examining the ice/bedrock interface of contemporary glaciers. We demonstrate that the glacial erosion rate is proportional to the ice-sliding velocity squared, by quantifyin...
متن کاملAlpine Glacier Change in the Eastern Altun Mountains of Northwest China during 1972-2010
Accurately mapping and monitoring glacier changes over decades is important for providing information to support sustainable use of water resource in arid regions of northwest China. Since 1970, glaciers in the Eastern Altun Mountains showed remarkable recession. Further study is indispensable to indicate the extent and amplitude of glacial change at basin and individual glacier scale. In this ...
متن کاملMonitoring Alpine glacier activity by a combined use of TerraSAR-X images and continuous GPS measurements – the Argentière glacier experiment
The monitoring of Alpine glacier activity is one of the applications which require the combined use of ground measurements and SAR data. It should become feasible thanks to the new generation SAR satellites (ALOS, TerraSAR-X, Cosmo-SkyMed and RadarSAT-2) and the high precision GPS measurements. This paper presents the early results of an experiment which started in 2007 on Argentière glacier (M...
