TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a new reconstruction of the deglaciation of the Fennoscandian Ice Sheet, in the form of calendar-year time-slices, which are particularly useful for ice sheet modelling.

TL;DR: In this article, dynamic ice-flow models for 12 glaciers and ice caps have been forced with various climate change scenarios, and the results indicate that few glaciers would survive until 2100.
Abstract: Dynamic ice-flow models for 12 glaciers and ice caps have been forced with various climate change scenarios The volume of this sample spans three orders of magnitude Six climate scenarios were considered: from 1990 onwards linear warming rates of 001, 002 and 004 K a-1, with and without concurrent changes in precipitation The models, calibrated against the historic record of glacier length where possible, were integrated until 2100 The differences in individual glacier responses are very large No straightforward relationship between glacier size and fractional change of ice volume emerges for any given climate scenario The hypsometry of individual glaciers and ice caps plays an important role in their response, thus making it difficult to generalize results For a warming rate of 004 K a-1, without increase in precipitation, results indicate that few glaciers would survive until 2100 On the other hand, if the warming rate were to be limited to 001 K a-1 with an increase in precipitation of 10% per degree warming, we predict that overall loss would be restricted to 10 to 20% of the 1990 volume

TL;DR: In this article, the evolution of ice-sheet configuration and flow pattern in Fennoscandia through the last glacial cycle was reconstructed using a glacial geological inversion model, i.e. a theoretical model that formalises the procedure of using the landform record to reconstruct ice sheets.
Abstract: The evolution of ice-sheet configuration and flow pattern in Fennoscandia through the last glacial cycle was reconstructed using a glacial geological inversion model, i.e. a theoretical model that formalises the procedure of using the landform record to reconstruct ice sheets. The model uses mapped flow traces and deglacial melt-water landforms, as well as relative chronologies derived from cross-cutting striae and till lineations, as input data. Flow-trace systems were classified into four types: (i) time-transgressive wet-bed deglacial fans, (ii) time-transgressive frozen-bed deglacial fans, (iii) surge fans, and (iv) synchronous non-deglacial (event) fans. Using relative chronologies and aggregation of fans into glaciologically plausible patterns, a series of ice-sheet Configurations at different time slices was erected. A chronology was constructed through correlation with dated stratigraphical records and proxy data reflecting global ice volume. Geological evidence exists for several discrete ice-sheet configurations centred over the Scandinavian mountain range during the early Weichselian. The build-up of the main Weichselian Fennoscandian ice sheet started at approximately 70 Ka, and our results indicate that it was characterised by an ice sheet with a centre of mass located over southern Norway. This configuration had a flow pattern which is poorly reproduced by current numerical models of the Fennoscandian ice sheet. At the Last Glacial Maximum the main ice divide was located overthe Gulf of Bothnia. A major bend in the ice divide was caused by outflow of ice to the northwest over the lowest part of the Scandinavian mountain chain. Widespread areas of preserved pre-late-Weichselian landscapes indicate that the ice sheet had a frozen-bed core area, which was only partly diminished in size by inward-transgressive wet-bed zones during the decay phase.

TL;DR: Cosmogenic exposure dating has greatly enhanced our ability to define glacial chronologies spanning several global cold periods, and glacial boulder exposure ages are now routinely used to constrain glaciers.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, a first-order thermomechanical ice sheet model was applied to investigate the retreat of the EISC after 23 ka BP, directly extending the work of Patton et al. (2016) who modelled the build-up to its maximum extent.

Abstract: Thank you very much for downloading remote sensing and image interpretation. As you may know, people have look hundreds times for their favorite novels like this remote sensing and image interpretation, but end up in malicious downloads. Rather than reading a good book with a cup of tea in the afternoon, instead they are facing with some malicious virus inside their computer. remote sensing and image interpretation is available in our digital library an online access to it is set as public so you can get it instantly. Our book servers spans in multiple countries, allowing you to get the most less latency time to download any of our books like this one. Merely said, the remote sensing and image interpretation is universally compatible with any devices to read.

TL;DR: This paper found that the most intensive glacier shrinkage is in the Himalayan region, whereas glacial retreat in the Pamir Plateau region is less apparent, due to changes in atmospheric circulations and precipitation patterns.
Abstract: Glacial melting in the Tibetan Plateau affects the water resources of millions of people. This study finds that—partly owing to changes in atmospheric circulations and precipitation patterns—the most intensive glacier shrinkage is in the Himalayan region, whereas glacial retreat in the Pamir Plateau region is less apparent.

TL;DR: The authors used selected proxy-based reconstructions of different climate variables, together with state-of-the-art time series of natural forcings (orbital variations, solar activity variations, large tropical volcanic eruptions, land cover and greenhouse gases), underpinned by results from GCMs and Earth System Models of Intermediate Complexity (EMICs), to establish a comprehensive explanatory framework for climate changes from the mid-Holocene (MH) to pre-industrial time.
