Glacier Terminus Fluctuations in the Wrangell and Chugach Mountains Resulting from Non-Climate Controls, (9999)

Sturm, Matthew, Hall, Dorothy K., Benson, Carl S., Field, William O.

Non-climatically controlled fluctuations of glacier termini were studied in two regions in Alaska. In the Wrangell Mountains, eight glaciers on Mt. Wrangell, an active volcano, have been monitored...

Influence of Snow and Ice Crystal Formation and Accumulation on Mercury Deposition to the Arctic (2008)

Douglas, Thomas A, Sturm, Matthew, Simpson, William R, Blum, Joel D, Alvarez-Aviles, Laura, Keeler, Gerald J, ...

Mercury is deposited to the Polar Regions during springtime atmospheric mercury depletion events (AMDEs) but the relationship between snow and ice crystal formation and mercury deposition is not well...

Remote sensing of sea ice thickness by a combined spatial and frequency domain interferometer : formulations, instrument design & development (2006)

Hussein, Ziad A., Holt, Benjamin, McDonald, Kyle C., Jordan, Rolando, Huang, John, Kuga, Yasuo, ...

The thickness of Arctic sea ice plays a critical role in Earth's climate and ocean circulation. An accurate measurement of this parameter on synoptic scales at regular intervals would enable...

Winter Biological Processes Could Help Convert Arctic Tundra to Shrubland (2005)

MATTHEW STURM, JOSH SCHIMEL, GARY MICHAELSON, JEFFREY M. WELKER, STEVEN F. OBERBAUER, GLEN E. LISTON, ...

In arctic Alaska, air temperatures have warmed 0.5 degrees Celsius (°C) per decade for the past 30 years, with most of the warming coming in winter. Over the same period, shrub abundance has...

The Role of Thermal Convection in Heat and Mass Transport in the Subarctic Snow Cover, (1998)

Sturm, Matthew

This study investigated the role of air convection in moving heat and water vapor in snow. To detect convection, the three-dimensional temperature field in the Fairbanks snow cover was measured...

Surface Climate and Snow-Weather Relationships of the Kuparuk Basin on Alaska's Arctic Slope (1998)

Olsson, Peter Q., Hinzman, Larry D., Sturm, Matthew, Liston, Glen E., Kane, Douglas L.

This report summarizes temperature, wind, and snow-cover data for the Kuparuk River Basin in Arctic Alaska spanning the five-year period of 1994-%1995. Comparison of results from five meteorological...
