Cryoconite Evolution and Formation on an Arctic Glacier Surface: A Case Study and Model
(2012-07-03)
Cryoconite holes are vertical cylindrical holes that form on glacier surfaces due to the
lower albedo of sediments. Cryoconite holes exist on Linn ebreen, Svalbard over the entirety of the glacier. They preferentially ...
Analysis of Varved Sediment and Weather Relationships in Lake Linnè, Svalbard
(2012-07-03)
The recent debate involving climate change has become increasingly important in the past decade. Arctic environments are important locations for study as they are particularly sensitive to climate variations. Proglacial ...
Glaciomarine Oceanographic and Suspended Sediment Dynamics, Kongsbreen system, Svalbard
(2012-07-03)
Quantifying estuarine circulation and the resulting sediment dynamics of tidewater glaciers is crucial to developing an understanding of these dynamic systems, and their response to climate and sea level change. This study ...
USING SEDIMENT GEOCHEMISTRY, PARTICLE SIZE DISTRIBUTION AND REMOTE SENSING TO STUDY PROVENANCE IN THE KRONERBREEN/KONGSVEGEN GLACIERS, WEST SPITSBERGEN, SVALBARD
(2012-07-03)
Sediment provenance at the Kronerbreen/Kongsvegen glaciers in Spitsbergen can be used to understand the effects that climate change can have on the sedimentation in fjords, and streams at northern latitudes. These sediments ...
TEEB Begins Now': A Virtual Moment in the Production of Natural Capital
(Development and Change, 2012)
This article uses theories of virtualism to analyse the role of The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity (TEEB) project in the production of natural capital. Presented at the 10th Conference of the Parties to the ...
On the Coattails of Climate? Opportunities and Threats of a Warming Earth for Biodiversity Conservation
(Global Environmental Change, 2012)
The relationship between climate change and biodiversity was a central issue at the 10th Conference of the Parties (COP 10) to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). In this paper we draw from participant observation ...
Enclosing the Global Commons: The Convention on Biological Diversity and Green Grabbing
(The Journal of Peasant Studies, 2012)
‘Green grabs,’ or the expropriation of land or resources for environmental purposes, constitute an important component of the current global land grab explosion. We argue that international environmental institutions are ...
