  • Improving the snowpack monitoring in the mountainous areas of Sweden from space

    Open AccessJie Zhang, Veijo Pohjola et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2021

    Under a warming climate, an improved understanding of the water stored in snowpacks is becoming increasingly important for hydropower planning, flood risk assessment and water resource management. Due to inaccessibility and a lack of ground measurement networks, accurate quantification of snow water storage in mountainous terrains still remains a major challenge. Remote sensing can provide dynamic observations with extensive spatial coverage, and…

  • Sámi traditional ecological knowledge as a guide to science

    Open AccessJan Åge Riseth, Hans Tømmervik et al.ARTICLEPolar Record2011Cited by: 18References: 42

    Scientific studies of challenges of climate change could be improved by including other sources of knowledge, such as traditional ecological knowledge (TEK), in this case relating to the Sámi. This study focuses on local variations in snow and ice conditions, effects of the first durable snow, and long term changes in snow and ice conditions as pre-requisites for understanding potential future changes. Firstly, we characterised snow types and pro…

  • Two ice-core δ18O records from Svalbard illustrating climate and sea-ice variability over the last 400 years

    Open AccessElisabeth Isaksson, Jack Kohler et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2005References: 2

    Ice cores from the relatively low-lying ice caps in Svalbard have not been widely exploited in climatic studies owing to uncertainties about the effect of meltwater percolation. However, results from two new Svalbard ice cores, at Lomonosovfonna and Austfonna, have shown that with careful site selection, high-resolution sampling and multiple chemical analyses it is possible to recover ice cores from which part of the annual signals are preserved,…

  • Atmospheric Circulation and Variations in Scandinavian Glacier Mass Balance

    Open AccessVeijo Pohjola, Veijo Allan Pohjola et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Research1997

    Mountain glaciers in Scandinavia are currently advancing while most of the monitored mountain glaciers of the world are retreating. We examine atmospheric circulation variability and compare changes in air pressure indices to changes in the mass balance of glaciers in the northeastern part of the Atlantic Ocean. The glacier mass balance correlates well with the strength of maritime flow in both winter and summer, the presence of high pressure ove…
