1. Exploring beneath the surface of glacial landscapes : Implementing and improving geophysical investigations in glaciated environments
Abstract : The warming climate is having profound impacts on glacier dynamics and extents. To improve our predictions of future ice mass changes, we require an enhanced understanding of both past and present glacial processes. READ MORE

2. Response of glaciers to climate change : Mass balance sensitivity, sea level rise and runoff
Abstract : The purpose of this study is to enhance our understanding of the response of glaciers to climate change. Global sea level is affected by changes in glacier ice volume, and melt-water from glaciers is a principal water source in many regions. READ MORE

4. Modelling calving and sliding of Svalbard outlet glaciers : Spatio-temporal changes and interactions
Abstract : Future sea level rise associated to global warming is one of the greatest societal and environmental challenges of tomorrow. A large part of the contribution comes from glaciers and ice sheets discharging ice and meltwater into the ocean and the recent worldwide increase is worrying. READ MORE

5. Near surface atmospheric flow over high latitude glaciers
Abstract : In this thesis various descriptions of the near surface atmospheric flow over a high latitude glacier is used in an effort to increase our understanding of the basic flow dynamics there. Through their contribution to sea-level change, mountain glaciers play a significant role in Earth’s climate system. READ MORE
