The triggering of sub-glacial lake drainage during the rapid glacier drawdown: Crane Glacier, Antarctic Peninsula
Ice surface altimetry from ICESat-1 and NASA aircraft altimeter overflights spanning 2002– 09 indicate that a region of lower Crane Glacier, Antarctic Peninsula, shows an unusual temporal pattern of elevation loss: a period of very rapid drawdown ( 91ma between September 2004 and September 2005) bounded by periods of large but more moderate rates (23ma until September 2004; 12ma after September...
متن کاملLip Leishmaniasis in Khuzestan (Ahwaz) during the last decade
Cutaneous leishmaniasis is a parasitic infection prevalent in many areas. The parasitic agent is usually transmitted by Phlebotomous sp. Lip leishmaniasis is a type of cutaneous leishmaniasis, which has rarely been reported. In a retrospective study performed in Ahwaz, center of Khuzestan province, southwest of Iran, 2861 patients were detected during 1986-1996. Seventeen of these patient...
متن کاملFunctional Diversity of Microbial Communities in Soils in the Vicinity of Wanda Glacier, Antarctic Peninsula
Microbial functional diversity in four soils sampled in the vicinity of Wanda Glacier, Antarctic Peninsula, was determined using Biolog EcoPlates at 5°C and 25°C. Comparisons of the patterns of substrate utilization and the diversity index showed differences in community composition, reflecting the heterogeneous distribution of microorganisms in this environment. Differences in microbial divers...
متن کاملRetreating glacier fronts on the Antarctic Peninsula over the past half-century.
The continued retreat of ice shelves on the Antarctic Peninsula has been widely attributed to recent atmospheric warming, but there is little published work describing changes in glacier margin positions. We present trends in 244 marine glacier fronts on the peninsula and associated islands over the past 61 years. Of these glaciers, 87% have retreated and a clear boundary between mean advance a...
متن کاملApplication of Surface Matching for Improved Measurements of Historic Glacier Volume Change in the Antarctic Peninsula
Climate records show that the Antarctic Peninsula is rapidly warming. Dramatic changes in ice shelf and glacier extent have been recorded over the last few decades. Mapping recent changes in the Antarctic Peninsula is relatively straightforward, as increased amounts of earth observation data become readily available for scientific purposes. However, long term measurements of volumetric changes ...
