Title : "Low elevation of Svalbard glaciers drives high mass loss variability"
Seminar by : Dr. Brice Noël, Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Research (IMAU)
Abstarct : Compared to other Arctic ice masses, Svalbard glaciers are low-elevated with flat interior accumulation areas, resulting in a marked peak in their current hypsometry (area-elevation distribution) at 450 m above sea level. Since summer melt consistently exceeds winter snowfall, these low-lying glaciers can only survive (…)
