Abstract. Arctic regions are under immense pressure from a continuously warming climate. During the winter and shoulder seasons, recently deglaciated sediments particularly sensitive to human-induced warming. Understanding physical mechanisms processes that determine soil liquid moisture availability contributes way we conceptualize understand development functioning of terrestrial ecosystems. However, harsh weather logistical constraints limit opportunities directly observe subsurface...
Abstract. Arctic regions are under immense pressure from a continuously warming climate. Understanding the physical mechanisms and processes that determine soil liquid moisture availability contributes to way we conceptualize understand development functioning of terrestrial ecosystems. However, harsh weather logistical constraints limit opportunities directly observe subsurface year-round, hence automated uninterrupted strategies monitoring physicochemical properties essential....
ABSTRACT Accelerated climate warming is causing significant reductions in the volume of Arctic glaciers, such that previously ice‐capped bare ground uncovered, harboring soil development. Monitoring thermal and hydrologic characteristics soils, which strongly affect microbial activity, important to understand evolution emerging terrestrial landscapes. We instrumented two sites on forefield a retreating Svalbard glacier, representing sediment ages approximately 5 60 years since exposure. Our...
Abstract. The majority of the water supply for many Western US states is derived from seasonal snowmelt in mountainous regions. This study aims to address gaps basin-scale snowpack modeling by using a multi-step, Gaussian-based machine learning model generate rapid, high-resolution, snow depth estimates at minimal cost combining citizen-science snowdepth observations with static LiDAR terrain features collected single snow-free date. We focus on reducing personnel danger modifying algorithm...
Summary Arctic regions are warming three to four times faster than the global average, with like Svalbard Archipelago experiencing significant reductions in ice-cover. This glacier retreat has exposed new terrestrial landscapes, which harbour emerging soils. In order help better understand how temperature and moisture dynamics vary depth over multiple time scales developing soil, we present results from two sensor installations located on forefield of Midtre Lovénbreen glacier, Svalbard....
<p>High Arctic regions are experiencing an accelerated rise in temperatures, about three times more than the global average. As a result, glacier coverage over these landscapes is reducing, uncovering soils which start their development by sustaining emergent microbial communities. These new systems will have significant impact on carbon budget, thus monitoring and understanding evolution becomes necessity.</p><p>Geoelectrical methods emerged as...
