      Cryoconite is a mixture of mineral and organic material covering glacial ice, playing important roles in biogeochemical cycles and lowering the albedo of a glacier surface. Understanding the differences in structure of ...
    • Levels and distribution profiles of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) in a high Arctic Svalbard ice core 

      Hartz, William F; Björnsdotter, Maria; Yeung, Leo WY.; Hodson, Andrew; Thomas, Elizabeth R; Humby, Jack D.; Day, Chris; Jogsten, Ingrid Ericson; Kallenborn, Roland (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of persistent organic contaminants of which some are toxic and bioaccumulative. Several PFAS can be formed from the atmospheric degradation of precursors such as ...
    • SEM-EDS and water chemistry characteristics at the early stages of glacier recession reveal biogeochemical coupling between proglacial sediments and meltwater 

      Stachnik, Lukasz Mariusz; Yde, Jacob C.; Krzemień, Kazimierz; Uzarowicz, Łukasz; Sitek, Sławomir; Kenis, Piotr (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Most glaciers worldwide are undergoing climate-forced recession, but the impact of glacier changes on biogeochemical cycles is unclear. This study examines the influence of proglacial sediment weathering on meltwater ...
