FrostBytes: Soundbytes of Cool Research

This FrostByte was created by George Tanski from the Alfred Wegener Institute Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research, for ICARP conference, part of Arctic Science Summit Week, held in Toyama, Japan 21 - 30 April, 2015.This Frostbyte gives an overview about my current studies on permafrost carbon and its degradation along Arctic coasts, especially in Canada. It gives an overview of the scope of my current project and the objectives of my PhD in general.http://www.awi.de/People/show?gtanski

This FrostByte was created by Xavier Fettweis, from University of Liège (Belgium), for the Constraining uncertainty in Greenland Ice Sheet surface mass balance model output and in situ validation workshop, held 19-20 May 2015, in Sheffield, UK.This FrostByte shows that the Greenland ice sheet contribution to sea level changes is a drop over the 20th century and a rise during the 21st century.climato.be/fettweisClick here for video

This FrostByte was created by Regine Hock, from the University of Alaska Fairbanks, for the 11th Session of the CliC Steering Group, held in Boulder, Colorado USA, 9-12 February 2015.This frostbyte is about glaciers other than the ice sheets and their contribution to sea-level rise.Click here for video

This FrostByte was created by Claire Treat for the Permafrost Carbon Network Project Leads Meeting, in Flagstaff, AZ, USA, in May, 2015.My research uses a synthesis of plant macrofossils, or small pieces of plants preserved in peat, to study the causes and effects of permafrost aggradation in boreal and arctic peatlands.Website: https://www.linkedin.com/pub/claire-treat/24/554/717Click here for video

This FrostByte was created by Jens Strauss for the Permafrost Carbon Network Project Leads Meeting, held in Flagstaff, AZ, USA in May, 2015.This FrostByte is about ice-rich Yedoma and thermokarst permafrost in the Yedoma region. I found that that this kind of permafrost stores about 213 gigatonnes organic carbon, which is a significant amount of carbon so far not included in climate models.Website:  http://www.awi.de/People/show.php?jestrausClick here for video

This FrostByte was created by Johannes Feldmann for the Rising Coastal Seas On A Warming Earth Workshop, 27-29 October 2014 at the New York University Campus in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.

This FrostByte has been on ice for quite some time, but it has been defrosted so we can show it again. This Frostbyte was originally created for the International Polar Year conference in Montreal, 2012 by Geoffrey Gunn. The very first batch of Frostbytes.

Much of glacier mass is lost via calving, occasional events when glacier fronts break and fall off to the ocean. We would like to understand the conditions under which such events occur.We have been conducting field research at Helheim glacier and adjacent Sermilik fjord. Yearly measurements of vertical salinity, temperature and pressure profiles give us a good estimate of the fjord water structure and a weather station installed at the glacier provides us with atmospheric data. Calving events cause strong perturbations in the fjord waters, which we were able to detect and separate from other signals. We will combine this with the rest of the data and with numerical models, and we hope to develop a better insight on this phenomenon.This FrostByte was created by Irena Vankova for the Rising Coastal Seas On A Warming Earth Workshop, 27-29 October 2014 at the New York University Campus in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.More information about this work: http://caos.cims.nyu.edu/page/home

The North Atlantic jet stream shows considerable interannual variability. Much of this is due to internal atmospehric variability. However, there are a number of potential drivers of this variability, which are capable of nudging the jet stream. The research aims to identify these drivers scross all four seasons.This Frostbyte was made by Richard J Hall for the Writing workshop "Linkage between Arctic Climate Change and Mid-latitude Weather Extremes". 2-7 September 2014 Seattle, WA, USA

Rapid summer warming in Greenland since the early 1990s is much greater than global warming over the same period. This Arctic amplification may well have consequences for the behaviour of the northern hemisphere polar jet stream: a giant river of airflow in the atmosphere which is driven by thermal contrast between tropical and polar air masses.Website address: http://www.sheffield.ac.uk/geography/staff/hanna_edward/indexThis Frostbyte was made by Edward Hanna for the Writing workshop "Linkage between Arctic Climate Change and Mid-latitude Weather Extremes". 2-7 September 2014 Seattle, WA, USA
