Record #134815:

Mass balance change as a control on the frequency and occurrence of glacier surges in Svalbard, Norwegian High Arctic / J.A. Dowdeswell, Richard Hodgkins, Anne-Marie Nuttall, Jon Ove Hagen, Gordon Stuart Hamilton.

Title: Mass balance change as a control on the frequency and occurrence of glacier surges in Svalbard, Norwegian High Arctic / J.A. Dowdeswell, Richard Hodgkins, Anne-Marie Nuttall, Jon Ove Hagen, Gordon Stuart Hamilton.
Author(s): Dowdeswell, J. A.

Hagen, Jon Ove.
Hamilton, Gordon Stuart.
Date: 1995.
In: Geophysical Research Letters. (1995.), Vol. 22(21) (1995)
Abstract: End of Little Ice Age in Svalbard, climate-sensitive region at northern extreme of strong poleward heat transfer, was marked by abrupt increase in mean annual temperature of up to 5°C around 1920. Glacier mass balance has been consistently negative since then, with large net losses. Energy-balance modelling confirms sensitivity of these glaciers to climate change. Actively-surging glaciers are as result down from 18 to 5. Trend will probably continue.
