Sensitivity of basal conditions in an inverse model: Vestfonna ice cap, Nordaustlandet/Svalbard
The dynamics of Vestfonna ice cap (Svalbard) are dominated by fast-flowing outlet glaciers. Its mass balance is poorly known and affected dynamically by these fast-flowing outlet glaciers. Hence, it is a challenging target for ice flow modeling. Precise knowledge of the basal conditions and implementation of a good sliding law are crucial for the modeling of this ice cap. Here we use the full-S...
متن کاملDrainage basin delineation from vector drainage networks
An automated process for the delineation of drainage basins, using as input only the vector based drainage network, is described which provides an alternative to DEM based methods. The procedure involves an approximation of the line Voronoi diagram for the network using a constrained Delaunay triangulation of the network's Planar Straight Line Graph. The constrained triangulation, which include...
متن کاملShrinking ice caps in the spotlight
From the disappearing sea ice of the Arctic to the thriving microbial communities in subglacial lakes of Antarctica, the Earth's ice caps have often made the news in recent months and years, and polar science has emerged as being crucial to our understanding of our planet's biology and climate. Michael Gross reports.
متن کاملAssessment of the Potential Flood Risk in Sarbaz Drainage Basin
Today, due to climate change, natural hazards and how to deal with them are among the most important concerns of researchers in environmental planning and crisis management. The purpose of this study is the assessment of the potential flood risk in Sarbaz drainage basin. For this purpose, the databases including elevation, slope, geological characteristics, soil characteristics, precipitation, ...
متن کاملIce Caps and Ice Belts: the Effects of Obliquity on Ice-albedo Feedback
Planetary obliquity determines the meridional distribution of annual mean insolation. For obliquity exceeding 55◦, the weakest insolation occurs at the equator. Stable partial snow and ice cover on such a planet would be in the form of a belt about the equator rather than polar caps. An analytical model of planetary climate is used to investigate the stability of ice caps and ice belts over the...
