#RiverCup2024 Match 16 💧Yenisey River: The largest river to drain to the Arctic and world's 5th longest, 33% of the Yenisey basin is permafrost 🌎 Ölfusá River: Fed by glacial meltwater, the Ölfusá flows through several famous waterfalls like Gullfoss before draining to the Atlantic
But, these aren't super expensive or even labor intensive projects all things considered, not compared to something like meltwater sequestration if we lose a significant piece of the Greenland or Antarctic Ice sheet.
We were just in Iceland and trekking atop 2 different glaciers. Seeing the amount of meltwater running was shocking. End of summer, so it's "expected" melting, but all the guides were talking about the acceleration. They're talking total melt of their biggest glacier within 200 years. 😱
Put it to the tune of My Favourite Things… Salt-rusted panels and Naff electronics Meltwater ingress While stuck in a snowdrift
We recently ran seawater samples collected by University of Alaska Anchorage graduate student Cameron Kuhle. This project is studying hydrological parameters of meltwater from the Pituffik Glacier in northwest Greenland. #FieldworkFriday 🧪🌊
a sed transport process unique to marine-terminating glaciers are meltwater plumes that are discharged at the grounding line — they buoyantly rise to create a sea-surface plume and sediment rains out I need to educate myself more about this — what are some 'go to' papers about this process? ⚒️🧊🌊
working on a proposal (going slower than I'd like 🫠) to work on the IODP Exp 400 (NW Greenland Margin) records and found this fantastic paper linking meltwater to downslope sedimentary processes/deposits — check out this map from 3D seismic of a paleo-seascape ⚒️🧪 www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Not seen in other areas of permafrost apparently... "A new physical model suggests meltwater from thawing permafrost on Russia's Yamal Peninsula can unlock methane sources at depth, triggering explosions that open enormous craters at the surface" #Permafrost#Cryosphere#Siberia

eu amei tanto meltwater pulse que estou simplesmente cogitando desenhar algumas cenas dessa fic
