Development of the morphodynamics on Little Ice Age lateral moraines in 10 glacier forefields of the Eastern Alps since the 1950s

Sarah Betz-Nutz et al.

Summary: This study observes the development of morphodynamics and changes in geomorphological processes on lateral moraines in the Eastern Alps, based on 10 glacier forefields. The results show diverse development in morphodynamics, with some slopes stagnating while others significantly increasing in erosion rates. However, the majority of slopes show a decline in morphodynamics over decades but still remain at a high level in many cases.

Atmosphere-cryosphere interactions during the last phase of the Last Glacial Maximum (21 ka) in the European Alps

Costanza Del Gobbo et al.

Summary: This study investigates the physical processes sustaining Alpine glaciers during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) using a regional climate model. The results show increased summer convection and precipitation over the southern Alps, leading to an expanded summer snow range and a lower equilibrium line altitude (ELA) of glaciers. The study also demonstrates the potential of the regional climate model for use in paleoclimate studies.

Long-term mass-balance monitoring and evolution of ice in caves through structure from motion-multi-view stereo and ground-penetrating radar techniques

Andrea Securo et al.

Summary: This study explores the combination of terrestrial structure from motion multi-view stereo (SfM-MVS) approach with ground-penetrating radar (GPR) surveys to monitor surface topographic changes of permanent ice deposits in caves in the Julian Alps. It allows accurate calculation of mass balance and estimation of ice volume inside caves, representing a low-cost, reliable, and versatile methodology for long-term monitoring.

Summary: This study compared equilibrium-line altitudes calculated using different methods and validated them through on-site observations. The use of a global AABR value of 1.56 was recommended for calculating glacier ELAs among 64 glaciers.

Moraines in the Austrian Alps record repeated phases of glacier stabilization through the Late Glacial and the Early Holocene

Sandra M. Braumann et al.

Summary: This study focuses on reconstructing the glacier extent changes in the Silvretta Massif in the Austrian Alps during the transition from colder to warmer climate phases. The research shows that the general deglaciation after the Last Glacial Maximum was interrupted multiple times by glacier stabilization or readvance, indicating the sensitive response of the glaciers to abrupt climate oscillations in the past. The findings also reveal the existence of multiple cold phases that punctuated the general post-LGM warming trend.

Century-long multi-source analyses highlight decreasing vulnerability for a small, debris-covered and avalanche-fed glacier in the eastern Italian Alps

J. De Marco et al.

Summary: This study documents the changes in the Montasio Glacier over the last century and reveals its unusual response to climatic changes. The increase in debris cover and changes in snowfall are the main factors influencing the divergence between the Montasio Glacier and other Alpine glaciers.

200 years of equilibrium-line altitude variability across the European Alps (1901-2100)

Manja Zebre et al.

Summary: Research has reconstructed the environmental equilibrium-line altitude (ELA) in the European Alps based on climate records and model projections. It is projected that the environmental ELA will continue to rise in the future, potentially leading to further glacier melting.

Evolution of debris cover on glaciers of the Eastern Alps, Austria, between 1996 and 2015

Fabian Fleischer et al.

Summary: Debris cover on glaciers is a key component influencing climate-glacier dynamics and glacier lifespan. The study in the Eastern Alps of Austria shows an increase of over 10% in debris cover on glaciers from 1996 to 2015, while glaciers retreated in response to climate warming. Different mountain ranges exhibit significant regional variability in debris cover on glaciers.

Recent Increases in Winter Snowfall Provide Resilience to Very Small Glaciers in the Julian Alps, Europe

Renato R. Colucci et al.

Summary: This study investigates the resilience of very small glaciers and ice patches in the southeastern European Alps under extreme snowfall events. The research findings show an increase of over 10% in ice volume on 14 ice bodies in the region from 2006 to 2018, primarily influenced by extreme winter snow accumulations in the 2000s. Despite expected summer warming in the future, modifying storm tracks and the increased frequency of extreme snowfall events during winter are crucial for ensuring the resilience of small glacial remnants in maritime alpine sectors.

Millennial-scale deglaciation across the European Alps at the transition between the Younger Dryas and the Early Holocene - evidence from a new cosmogenic nuclide chronology

Marie Protin et al.

Summary: This study focuses on the timing of glacier fluctuations in the European Alps during the Younger Dryas/Early Holocene (YD/EH) transition. The findings suggest broadly synchronous behavior of glaciers across the Alps between 12 and 10 ka, indicating that common regional climate conditions had a major impact on Alpine glacier variations during this period. Additionally, similarities in glacier behavior and temperature records between the Alpine region and northern high latitudes suggest a teleconnection, with pronounced changes in seasonality between the Younger Dryas and the Early Holocene.

Accelerated global glacier mass loss in the early twenty-first century

Romain Hugonnet et al.

Summary: The study found that glaciers around the world are melting at an accelerated rate, with contrasting patterns of mass loss in different geographical regions. Overall, glaciers are losing mass more rapidly, with similar or even larger acceleration rates than Greenland or Antarctic ice sheets taken separately. These findings also highlight the importance of understanding drivers that influence glacier change to predict future changes and mitigate the impacts of sea-level rise.
