Effects of Temperature on American Pika Activity in Glacier National ParkHorner, Lucas Moyer
The coldest recorded natural seawater temperature was -2.6°C, recorded beneath an Antarctic glacier 38. Likewise, the coldest ocean currents recorded were -2.2°C at a depth of 500 m. In both cases, hydrostatic pressures allowed water to remain liquid at such cold temperatures 38.Ice...
a conundrum similar to that derived mainly from marine proxies5also exists for the winter season at both the hemispheric and regional scales over the NH landmass. The widespread model–data contrast in the spatial comparison also suggests that the uneven distribution of records may be not the ...

Preliminary analysis of the established Beartrack hemlock ring-width series from Glacier Bay extends to AD1569 and spans a significant portion of the Little Ice Age (LIA). The other species similarly date back to the mid to late 1500s for the cedar and at least 300 years for the pine. ...
Grinnell Glacier shrinkage A series of photographs of the Grinnell Glacier taken from the summit of Mount Gould in Glacier National Park, Montana, in (from left) 1938, 1981, 1998, and 2006. In 1938 the Grinnell Glacier filled the entire area at the bottom of the image. By 2006 it had ...
The temperature rise has consequently exacerbated glacier retreats, glacial lake outbursts of floods (GLOFs), droughts, and food insecurity, among other effects, in Nepal [21,22,23,24,25]. Significantly, enhanced warming trends associated with extreme changes in climatic variables, further ...
and N to steel. The application of rare earth elements is also an important area of research. A high concentration of Ni is frequently used in polar steel materials as it can enhance toughness at low temperatures. For example, the Ni content in the low-temperature steel of FH36 grade is ...
and two that are unnamed. At the glacier’s snout, two proglacial meltwater streams emerge, and eventually they combine into a single stream, thus forming theNubra River in the Indianunion territoryofLadakh. Because Siachen is a temperate-zone glacier, it generates a great deal of runoff dur...
As a result, the bulk of precipitation in the Karakoram falls out at elevations higher than 4000–5000 m, in the elevation range corresponding to the accumulation zone of the major glaciers. These westerlies provide the dominant nourishment for the local glacier systems. Furthermore, there is ...
