Nicoll, Kathleen | The climate and environment of Byzantine Anatolia: Integrating science, history, and archaeology | This article, which is part of a larger project, examines cases in which high-resolution archaeological, textual, and environmental data can be integrated with longer-term, low-resolution data to afford greater precision in identifying some of the causal relationships underlying societal change. | 2014-01-01 | |

Nicoll, Kathleen; Chan, Marjorie A.; Jewell, Paul | Bonneville basin analogues for large lake processes & chronologies of geomorphic development on Mars | Pleistocene Lake Bonneville was a large (~50,000 sq km) terrestrial closed lake system in Utah, USA that developed during the Last Glacial Maximum (~20 ka BP), and persisted at highstand until a catastrophic outburst flood event ~17.4 ka cal BP and warming climate significantly lowered its volume [1... | 2009 | |

Wei, Y. H. Dennis | Urbanization, land use, and sustainable development in China | China's economic reforms and unprecedented growth have generated many fascinating issues for scholarly research. An understanding of urbanization and land use change in China is required for appropriate strategies and policies to facilitate future sustainable development. This paper reviews the lite... | 2014-01-01 | |

Forster, Richard R. | Explaining the presence of perennial liquid water bodies in the firn of the Greenland Ice Sheet | Recent observations have shown that the firn layer on the Greenland Ice Sheet features subsurface bodies of liquid water at the end of the winter season. Using a model with basic firn hydrology, thermodynamics, and compaction in one dimension, we find that a combination of moderate to strong surface... | 2014-01-01 | |

Forster, Richard R. | Summer melt regulates winter glacier flow speeds throughout Alaska | Predicting how climate change will affect glacier and ice sheet flow speeds remains a large hurdle toward accurate sea level rise forecasting. Increases in surface melt rates are known to accelerate glacier flow in summer, whereas in winter, flow speeds are believed to be relatively invariant. Here ... | 2013-01-01 | |

Forster, Richard R. | Prevalence of pure versus mixed snow cover pixels across spatial resolutions in alpine environments | Remote sensing of snow-covered area (SCA) can be binary (indicating the presence/absence of snow cover at each pixel) or fractional (indicating the fraction of each pixel covered by snow). Fractional SCA mapping provides more information than binary SCA, but is more difficult to implement and may no... | 2014-01-01 | |

Forster, Richard R. | Effects of bedrock lithology and subglacial till on the motion of Ruth Glacier, Alaska, deduced from five pulses from 1973 to 2012 | A pulse is a type of unstable glacier flow intermediate between normal flow and surging. Using Landsat MSS, TM and ETM+ imagery and feature-tracking software, a time series of mostly annual velocity maps from 1973 to 2012 was produced that reveals five pulses of Ruth Glacier, Alaska. Peaks in ice ve... | 2014-01-01 | |

Forster, Richard R. | Initial in situ measurements of perennial meltwater storage in the Greenland firn aquifer | A perennial storage of water in a firn aquifer was discovered in southeast Greenland in 2011. We present the first in situ measurements of the aquifer, including densities and temperatures. Water was present at depths between ~12 and 37m and amounted to 18.7 ± 0.9 kg in the extracted core. The wate... | 2014-01-01 |
