With an area of 149.31 ± 1.84 km2, the Santa Inés Icefield constitutes one of the largest and least studied and explored glaciated areas of Southern Patagonia. We study the extent and glacier variations of the Santa Inés Icefield over the last 75 years, and we generate the most detailed glacier inventory to date of its 24 constituting glaciers. We estimate surface elevation changes between 2000 and 2014 using Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) and TanDEM-X digital elevation models. Our results show a generalized trend of retreat, with a glacier area loss of −9.78 ± 1.52 km2 between 1998 and 2020, with annual rate increase from −0.15 ± 0.01 km2 a−1 (1998–2005) to −0.58 ± 0.10 km2 a−1 (2005–2020), and an average thinning of 0.60 ± 0.26 m a−1 (2σ) between 2000 and 2014. No clear correlation was found between retreat or thinning rates and Accumulation Area Ratio (AAR), terminus slope, aspect, or glacier type. While ERA5 reanalysis data shows no significant climatic trends in temperature or precipitation, a small warming trend below our detection record is the most likely cause of the observed retreat and thinning of the Santa Inés Icefield.","PeriodicalId":8391,"journal":{"name":"Arctic, Antarctic, and Alpine Research","volume":"54 1","pages":"202 - 220"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47003754","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We used repeat measurements of sixty-nine plots over ten years (2007–2008 and 2017–2018) to assess lichen biomass changes under a warming climate along a latitudinal/climatic gradient in northwestern Canada. We compared lichen biomass on sensitive landscape features, including peat plateaux (permafrost-containing bogs), areas of permafrost thaw within the peat plateaux (collapse scars), and low-productivity upland forests occurring on mineral soils. Field-based measures of lichen cover and height were coupled with samples of lichen biomass to develop biomass prediction equations. The optimal model incorporated both cover and height, with landscape feature as a covariate. Although height significantly improved the equation fit, models were successfully developed with cover alone. Modeled lichen biomass differed significantly between landscape features, declining from peat plateau (502 g m−2) to upland forest (54.0 g m−2) and collapse scar (0.690 g m−2) environments. In the absence of permafrost collapse at any monitoring location, lichen biomass declined significantly over the ten years for peat plateaux (−75.6 g m−2) and upland forests (−17.5 g m−2). These results will be important for quantifying landscape-level lichen biomass changes under climate warming in boreal and subarctic environments.","PeriodicalId":8391,"journal":{"name":"Arctic, Antarctic, and Alpine Research","volume":"54 1","pages":"221 - 238"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42154011","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here we apply a numerical snowpack model to identify the leading factors controlling the mass balance of two perennial snowfields that have significant human interest: Arapaho Glacier, located at Niwot Ridge in the Colorado Rocky Mountains (United States), and a snowfield located in the Ulaan Taiga (Mongolia). The two locations were chosen because they differ in elevation, slope, and aspect. However, both have subarctic climates and are located within semi-arid regions. We show that for these two locations the snowfield mass balance is primarily sensitive to air temperature and wind speed, followed by precipitation and dust deposition amounts. The lack of sensitivity to dust deposition was most likely due to timing of deposition and the overall small dust amounts. We find that the sensitivities are similar for the center of the snowfield as well as the margins.","PeriodicalId":8391,"journal":{"name":"Arctic, Antarctic, and Alpine Research","volume":"54 1","pages":"41 - 61"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41455753","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
