(Doctoral thesis / Doktoravhandling, 2011)
The state of the continental ice masses has a direct impact on the global sea level. Changes in the polar regions will not only impact the people living in the Arctic, but also people living along coastlines around the ...
(Doctoral thesis / Doktoravhandling, 2011)
Ice loss from glaciers and ice caps in the Arctic constitute a major contribution to eustatic sea-level rise. Climate change is more pronounced in the Arctic than in other regions, because strong feedback mechanisms such ...

(Doctoral thesis / Doktoravhandling, 2011)
In a changing climate, terrestrial water storages are of great interest as water availability impacts key aspects of ecosystem functioning. Thus, a better understanding of the variations of wet and dry periods will contribute ...
(Doctoral thesis / Doktoravhandling, 2011)
The velocity of glaciers is important for many aspects in glaciology. Mass accumulated in the accumulation area is transported down to the ablation area by deformation and sliding due to the gravitational force, and hence ...

Photogrammetry, together with radar interferometry, is the most popular of the remote sensing techniques used to monitor stability of high mountain slopes. By using two images of an area taken from different view angles, ...

Glaciers, ice caps and ice sheets constitute a large reservoir in the global hydrological cycle and provide a coupling between climate and sea-level. Observations of glacial change is important for constraining their ...
(Doctoral thesis / Doktoravhandling, 2011)
Supraglacial dust and debris affects many glaciologic variables, including radiative absorption, ablation, generation of supraglacial melt as well as mass flux. Earth observing satellite technology has advanced greatly in ...
