Glacier algae accelerate melt rates on the south-western Greenland Ice Sheet
Cook, Joseph M.; Tedstone, Andrew J.; Williamson, Christopher; McCutcheon, Jenine; Hodson, Andrew J.; Dayal, Archana; Skiles, McKenzie; Hofer, Stefan; Bryant, Robert; McAree, Owen; McGonigle, Andrew; Ryan, Jonathan; Anesio, Alexandre M.; Irvine-Fynn, Tristram D.L.; Hubbard, Alun Lloyd; Hanna, Edward; Flanner, Mark; Mayanna, Sathish; Benning, Liane G.; van As, Dirk; Yallop, Marian; McQuaid, James B.; Gribbin, Thomas; Tranter, Martyn (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) is the largest single contributor to eustatic sea level and is amplified by the growth of pigmented algae on the ice surface, which increases solar radiation absorption. This ... -
Spatial Variability of Antarctic Surface Snow Bacterial Communities
Malard, Lucie A.; Sabacka, Marie; Magiopoulos, Iordanis; Mowlem, Matt C.; Hodson, Andrew J.; Tranter, Martyn; Siegert, Martin J.; Pearce, David A. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)It was once a long-held view that the Antarctic was a pristine environment with low biomass, low biodiversity and low rates of microbial activity. However, as the intensity of scientific investigation has increased, so ... -
Temporal Variability of Surface Reflectance Supersedes Spatial Resolution in Defining Greenland’s Bare-Ice Albedo
Irvine-Fynn, Tristram D. L.; Bunting, Peter S.; Cook, Joseph M.; Hubbard, Alun; Barrand, Nicholas E.; Hanna, Edward; Hardy, Andy J.; Hodson, Andrew J.; Holt, Tom O.; Huss, Matthias; McQuaid, James B.; Nilsson, Johan; Naegeli, Kathrin; Roberts, Osian; Ryan, Jonathan C.; Tedstone, Andrew J.; Tranter, Martyn; Williamson, Christopher J. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Ice surface albedo is a primary modulator of melt and runoff, yet our understanding of how reflectance varies over time across the Greenland Ice Sheet remains poor. This is due to a disconnect between point or transect ...
