Dark ice dynamics of the south-west Greenland Ice Sheet
Runoff from the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) has increased in recent years due largely to changes in atmospheric circulation and atmospheric warming. Albedo reductions resulting from these changes have amplified surface melting. Some of the largest declines in GrIS albedo have occurred in the ablation zone of the south-west sector and are associated with the development of “dark” ice surfaces. Fi...
متن کاملThermodynamic modelling predicts energetic bottleneck for seabirds wintering
INTRODUCTION The strong link between animal energetics and individual survival has been put forward in a variety of studies (Schmidt-Hempel and Wolf, 1988; Speakman and Racey, 1989; Hobbs, 1989; Golet et al., 1998; Golet et al., 2000). During reproduction, parental care such as offspring provisioning forces adults to spend energy at a high rate, potentially threatening their own survival (Dijks...
متن کاملResponses of microbial phototrophs to late-Holoceneenvironmental forcing of lakes in south-west Greenland
1. The biological structure of arctic lakes is changing rapidly, apparently in response to global change processes such as increasing air temperatures, although altered nutrient stoichiometry may also be an important driver. Equally important, however, are local factors (e.g. landscape setting, hydrological linkages and trophic interactions) that may mediate responses of individual lakes at the...
متن کاملBowhead whale springtime song off West Greenland.
Three songs were recorded from bowhead whales (Balaena mysticetus) in Disko Bay, West Greenland, during 59 h of recordings via sonobuoys deployed on seven days between 5 and 14 April 2007. Song elements were defined by units following the protocol of previous description of bowhead whale song. The two most prominent songs were loud, complex, and repeated in long bouts on multiple recording days...
متن کاملPopulation structure of West Greenland narwhals
The hypothesis that different populations of narwhals in the West Greenland area exist has been tested by different biomarkers (metal and organochlorine concentrations, stable isotopes and DNA). Samples of muscle, liver, kidney, blubber and skin tissues of narwhals from West Greenland have been analysed for heavy metals, organochlorines, stable isotopes and DNA. The obtained results of metal co...
