The Antarctic contribution to sea-level rise has long been uncertain. While regional variability in ice dynamics has been revealed, a picture of mass changes throughout the continental ice sheet is lacking. Here, we use satellite radar altimetry to measure the elevation change of 72% of the grounded ice sheet during the period 1992-2003. Depending on the density of the snow giving rise to the o...

A programmed software was developed in order to numerically simulate time variation of temperature field and snow depth around a pipe-in-pile snow-melting system, using meteorological data. The system utilized underground piles as heat exchanger between underground soil and water flowing inside the piles. The water was pumped into heat dissipation pipes embedded beneath pavement surface, on whi...

The paper presents research related to the harmful effects of snowfall in Austrian pine and Scots plantations western part Republic Srpska. most common types tree damage are snow break snowfall. effect is more present at lower altitudes. Also, reflected reduction vitality damaged trees, which become suitable for attack other biotic factors, primarily insects fungi.
