Glacier moraine formation-mimicking colloidal particle assembly in microchanneled, bioactive hydrogel for guided vascular network construction.
This study demonstrates that a new method to align microparticles releasing bioactive molecules in microchannels of a hydrogel allows the guiding of growth direction and spacing of vascular networks.
متن کاملSubmarine melting at the terminus of a temperate tidewater glacier, LeConte Glacier, Alaska, U.S.A
Heat, freshand sea-water balances indicate that the late-summer rate of submarine melting at the terminus of tidewater LeConte Glacier, Alaska, U.S.A., in 2000 was about 12mdw.e., averaged over the submerged face. This is 57% of the estimated total ice loss at the terminus (calving plus melting) at this time. Submarine melting may thus providea significantcontribution to the overall ablationof ...
متن کاملMonitoring Temperate Glacier with High Resolution Automated Digital Cameras – Application to the Argentière Glacier
In the context of global warming, the monitoring of temperate glaciers is an important issue for economical and security reasons (water and energy resources, falling ice...) and climate change monitoring. In the glaciologist community this monitoring is based on ground measurements yielding specific information about mass-balance and ice flow. Unfortunately the daily variation measurements of t...
متن کاملForecasting temperate alpine glacier survival from accumulation zone observations
Temperate alpine glacier survival is dependent on the consistent presence of an accumulation zone. Frequent low accumulation area ratio values, below 30%, indicate the lack of a consistent accumulation zone, which leads to substantial thinning of the glacier in the accumulation zone. This thinning is often evident from substantial marginal recession, emergence of new rock outcrops and surface e...
متن کاملSediment-moss interactions on a temperate glacier: Falljökull, Iceland
This paper presents the results of preliminary investigations of globular moss growth on the surface of Falljökull, a temperate outlet glacier of the Vatnajökull ice cap, Southern Iceland. Supraglacial debris has provided a basis for moss colonisation and several large (>500m) patches of moss growth (Racomitrium spp.) are observed on the surface of the glacier. Each area of moss-colonised supra...
