Landscape–seascape dynamics in the isthmus between Sørkapp Land and the rest of Spitsbergen: Will a new big Arctic island form?
Transformation of the glaciated isthmus between Sørkapp Land and the rest of Spitsbergen since 1900 is described. The landscape-seascape dynamics depends on the glacial recession determined by climate warming after the Little Ice Age (i.e., since the beginning of the twentieth century, and especially since the 1980s). The isthmus has been narrowed from 28 km in 1899-1900 to 6.2 km in 2013, and ...
متن کاملLomonosovfonna and Holtedahlfonna ice cores reveal east – west disparities of the Spitsbergen environment since AD 1700
An ice core extracted from Holtedahlfonna ice cap, western Spitsbergen, record spanning the period 1700–2005, was analyzed for major ions. The leading empirical orthogonal function (EOF) component is correlated with an index of summer melt (log([Na]/[Mg]) from 1850 and shows that almost 50% of the variance can be attributed to seasonal melting since the beginning of the industrial revolution. T...
متن کاملHypsometrical Change of Gangotri Glacier since 1968 using Multitemporal DEM's
Precise estimate of glaciers, directly or indirectly influence most of the glaciological studies like ice extent, terminus position, mass balance studies, etc, thus mapping of snow and ice covered areas have continuously been one of the foremost scientific goals. Difficult access and unpredictable atmospheric condition that characterize the glacier areas have created remote sensing the foremost...

متن کاملComparison and significance of auroral studies during the Swedish and Russian bilateral expedition to Spitsbergen in 1899–1900
Results of measurements and visual observations of aurora at Spitsbergen, carried out by the joint SwedishRussian expedition during 1899–1900, are described. Auroral observations took place during the great bilateral Arc-ofMeridian expedition, which was patronized by the Swedish Royal Family and the Russian Imperial Family. The RussianSwedish Arc-of-Meridian measurements were closely coordinate...
