English, Scientific journal, Abstract. Ice discharge from the Greenland ice sheet is controlled by tidewater glacier flow speed, which shows significant variations in different timescales. Short-term speed variations are key to understanding the physical processes controlling glacial motion, but studies are sparse for Greenlandic tidewater glaciers, particularly near the calving front. Here, we present high-frequency ice speed measurements performed at 0.5–4 km from the front of Bowdoin Glacier, a tidewater glacier in northwestern Greenland. Three GPS (global positioning system) receivers were operated for several weeks in July of 2013–2017 and 2019. Horizontal ice speed varied over timescales of hours to days, including short-term speed-up events as well as diurnal and semidiurnal variations. Frequency analysis revealed that semidiurnal signals decay upglacier, whereas diurnal signals are consistently observed over the area of study. Speed-up events were associated with heavy rain, and longer-term variations were correlated with air temperature. Uplift of the glacier surface was observed during fast-flowing periods, suggesting basal separation due to elevated water pressure. These observations confirm the strong and immediate impact of melt/rainwater on subglacial water pressure and sliding speed. Tidally modulated ice speed peaks coincided with or slightly before low tide, which demonstrates the key role viscoelastic ice dynamics play in response to changing hydrostatic pressure acting on the glacier front. Our study results reveal details of short-term flow variations near the front of a Greenlandic tidewater glacier and provide insights into calving glacier dynamics. During melt season, ice speed is controlled by atmospheric conditions through meltwater production and rain events as commonly observed in alpine glaciers, but additional complexity arises from tidal influence near the calving front.

English, Abstract. Meltwater plume deposits (MPDs) from marine sediment cores have elucidated clearly connected, yet difficult to constrain, relationships between ice-marginal landform construction, grounding-zone retreat patterns, and subglacial hydrology for several glacial systems in both hemispheres. Few attempts have been made, however, to infer coveted details of subglacial hydrology, such as flow regime, drainage style, and mode(s) of sediment transport through time from grain-scale characteristics of MPDs. Using MPD, till, and ice-proximal diamicton samples collected offshore of six modern and relict glacial systems in both hemispheres, we examine whether grain-shape distributions and microtexture assemblages (collectively, grain micromorphology) of the silt fraction are the result of subglacial meltwater action, or are indistinguishable from glacial proximal and subglacial sediments from the same region. We find that of all grains imaged (n=9,400), three-quarters can be described by one-quarter of the full range of measured shape morphometrics, indicating widespread and efficient abrasive processes in subglacial environments. Microtexture analysis reveals that while grains comprising MPDs show evidence of edge rounding more often than tills, fluvial microtextures occur in modest amounts on grain surfaces. Furthermore, MPDs retain many mechanical (i.e., glacial) textures in comparable abundances to tills. Significant alteration of MPDs from till sources is observed for systems (1) for which intensive, potentially catastrophic, meltwater drainage events in the Holocene are inferred from marine geologic records, and (2) with comparatively less mature till grains and a contribution of supraglacial melt to the bed, indicating that quantifiable grain-shape alteration of MPDs may reflect a combination of young till, high-energy flow of subglacial meltwater, persistent sediment entrainment, and/or long sediment transport distances. We encourage future works to integrate grain micromorphology into site-specific marine sediment analyses, which may distinguish periods of persistent, well-connected subglacial discharge from periods of sporadic or disorganized drainage and provide context needed to estimate sediment fluxes and characterize ice response to subglacial meltwater transmission. In addition, this work demonstrates that glacial and fluvial surface textures are retained on silts in adequate abundance for microtexture analysis.

English, Scientific journal, Detecting structures within the continuous diving behavior of marine animals is challenging, and no universal framework is available. We captured such diverse structures using chaos theory. By applying time-delay embedding to exceptionally long dive records (83 d) from the narwhal, we reconstructed the state-space portrait. Using measures of chaos, we detected a diurnal pattern and its seasonal modulation, classified data, and found how sea-ice appearance shifts time budgets. There is more near-surface rest but deeper dives at solar noon, and more intense diving during twilight and at night but to shallower depths (likely following squid); sea-ice appearance reduces rest. The introduced geometrical approach is simple to implement and potentially helpful for mapping and labeling long-term behavioral data, identifying differences between individual animals and species, and detecting perturbations.

Catastrophic avalanches on Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands (1910–2020)

Russian, Scientific journal, Sakhalin Island and the Kuril Islands are among the most dangerous regions in Russia in terms of the impact of avalanches on the population and economics. The orographic conditions of Sakhalin Island and the Kuril Islands impose limitations on the selection of areas for housing settlements and economic enterprises, that is why many of them are situated in avalanche-prone zones. Sixty-three settlements of the region are located in such zones. The article provides the most complete recent information about catastrophic avalanches on Sakhalin Island and the Kuril Islands for the period from 1910 to 2020. During this time, 256 events of releases of the catastrophic avalanches were recorded; as a result of which 1203 people were injured, and 783 died. Information on the conditions when catastrophic avalanches release and their characteristics are presented. It was found that during this period cases of people being caught or deceased in avalanches took place in 72% of winters, and in 12% of them there were five or more catastrophic avalanches per season. The largest number of catastrophic avalanches released on the western coast of Southern Sakhalin, which was conditioned by significant economic development and the high avalanche activity on this area. Despite the large number of avalanche victims, engineering avalanche protection still exists on Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands only on a very limited number of sites, and avalanche prevention services are few and cannot provide an adequate level of avalanche safety on these territories.

Ocean-bottom and surface seismometers reveal continuous glacial tremor and slip

English, Scientific journal, Shearing along subduction zones, laboratory experiments on analogue faults, and sliding along glacier beds are all associated with aseismic and co-seismic slip. In this study, an ocean-bottom seismometer is deployed near the terminus of a Greenlandic tidewater glacier, effectively insulating the signal from the extremely noisy surface seismic wavefield. Continuous, tide-modulated tremor related to ice speed is recorded at the bed of the glacier. When noise interference (for example, due to strong winds) is low, the tremor is also confirmed via analysis of seismic waveforms from surface stations. The signal resembles the tectonic tremor commonly observed during slow-earthquake events in subduction zones. We propose that the glacier sliding velocity can be retrieved from the observed seismic noise. Our approach may open new opportunities for monitoring calving-front processes in one of the most difficult-to-access cryospheric environments.

Co-seismic eruption and intermittent turbulence of a subglacial discharge plume revealed by continuous subsurface observations in Greenland

English, Scientific journal, In the Arctic, subglacial discharge plumes have been recently recognised as a key driver of fjord-scale circulation. However, owing to the danger that accompanies prolonged observations at plumes, no time-series data are available. Here, we present results showing the chaotic and irregular dynamics of a plume revealed by continuous subsurface monitoring directly on the calving front of a Greenlandic glacier. We found intense fluctuations in the current and scalars (temperature and salinity), recognised shallow and deep tidal modulation and anomalies due to co-seismic drainage of an ice-dammed lake via the plume, and observed rapid and marked changes in stratification. Our analysis uncovers energy cascade intermittency with coherent structures, corresponding to upwelling pulses of warm water. Prior to our research, in situ evidence of time-variable plume dynamics was absent and limited to snapshots, therefore, our study and approach will enable researchers to transition from an episodic view of a plume to a continuously updated image.

English, Scientific journal, Abstract. Ice mass loss from the Greenland ice sheet is the largest single contributor to sea level rise in the 21st century. The mass loss rate has accelerated in recent decades mainly due to thinning and retreat of its outlet glaciers. The diverse calving mechanisms responsible for tidewater glacier retreat are not fully understood yet. Since a tidewater glacier’s sensitivity to external forcings depends on its calving style, detailed insight into calving processes is necessary to improve projections of ice sheet mass loss by calving. As tidewater glaciers are mostly thinning, their calving styles are expected to change. Here, we study calving behaviour changes under a thinning regime at Bowdoin Glacier, north-western Greenland, by combining field and remote-sensing data from 2015 to 2019. Previous studies showed that major calving events in 2015 and 2017 were driven by hydro-fracturing and melt-undercutting. New observations from uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) imagery and a GPS network installed at the calving front in 2019 suggest ungrounding and buoyant calving have recently occurred as they show (1) increasing tidal modulation of vertical motion compared to previous years, (2) absence of a surface crevasse prior to calving, and (3) uplift and horizontal surface compression prior to calving. Furthermore, an inventory of calving events from 2015 to 2019 based on satellite imagery provides additional support for a change towards buoyant calving since it shows an increasing occurrence of calving events outside of the melt season. The observed change in calving style could lead to a possible retreat of the terminus, which has been stable since 2013. We therefore highlight the need for high-resolution monitoring to detect changing calving styles and numerical models that cover the full spectrum of calving mechanisms to improve projections of ice sheet mass loss by calving.

English, Research institution, The Greenland ice sheet and peripheral ice caps are rapidly losing mass. This mass change hasbeen captured by satellite remote sensing, but more detailed investigations are necessary tounderstand the spatiotemporal variations and mechanism of the ice loss. It has increased particularlyin northwestern Greenland, but in-situ data for northern Greenland are generally sparse. To betterunderstand the ice mass loss in northwestern Greenland, we studied the ice sheet, ice caps and calvingglaciers in the Qaanaaq region, as a part of the Green Network of Excellence (GRENE) Arctic ClimateChange Research Project. Field and satellite observations were performed to measure the mass lossof the ice caps and calving glaciers in the region. Detailed processes were investigated based on fieldmeasurements to understand mechanisms driving the ice loss. The field activities include massbalance monitoring on Qaanaaq Ice Cap since 2012, integrated field observations near the front ofBowdoin Glacier since 2013 and ocean measurements near the calving glaciers. In this contribution,we summarize the results of the GRENE Greenland project, and introduce an overview of the nextproject to be carried out under the framework of the Arctic Challenge for Sustainability Project(ArCS).

English, Research institution, Outlet glaciers in Greenland have retreated and lost mass over the past decade. Understandingthe dynamics of tidewater glaciers is crucial for forecasting sea-level rise and for understanding thefuture of the Greenland Ice Sheet, given the buttressing support that tidewater glaciers provide toinland ice. However, the mechanisms controlling glacier-front location and the role played byexternal forcings (e.g., meltwater input and tidal oscillation) in basal motion and fracture formationleading to iceberg calving are poorly understood. Today it is known that glaciers generate seismicand infrasound signals that are detectable at local and teleseismic distances and can be used to monitorglacier dynamics. Here, we present examples of data recorded by a temporary network of seismicand infrasound instruments deployed at a tidewater glacier (Bowdoin Glacier, Greenland) in July 2015.Some stations were installed on ice at distances as close as ～ 250 m from the calving front,representing the closest deployments to the calving front that have been made to date. Multipleseismic and infrasound events were recorded by five seismic and six infrasound sensors, and linked tosurface crevassing, calving, and ice-cliff collapses, and presumably also hydrofracturing, icebergrotations, teleseismic earthquakes, and helicopter-induced tremors. Using classic seismological andarray analysis approaches (e.g., "short-term averaging/long-term averaging" and "f-k" analysis), as wellas image processing techniques, we explore this unique dataset to understand the glacial response toexternal forcings. Our observations, supported by GPS measurements of ice velocity, local weatherstationrecords, and time-lapse photography, provide a valuable resource for studying seismogenicglacial processes and their dependence on ocean tides and other environmental factors.

Russian, Scientific journal, This paper is dedicated to the 200th anniversary of Professor Jean Louis Rodolphe Agassiz (May, 28, 1807 – December, 14, 1873) and briefly outlines his biography and scientific heritage. This noble Swiss-born naturalist left a distinct imprint on glaciology, ichthyology, zoology and paleontology, founded the Museum of Comparative Zoology of Harvard University (1859) and contributed to the organization of the National Academy of Sciences of the USA (1863). His pioneer work was a milestone for the beginning of a new branch of science — experimental glaciology.

Recent dramatic retreat and mass-loss of glaciers is one of the most evident consequences of the climate change. Among the least understood elements of glacier dynamics, related to mass-loss of fast flowing ocean-terminating glaciers, are difficult-to-access englacial / basal processes, and evolution of ice fractures ultimately leading to major iceberg collapse and thus to further retreat of glaciers. Sound waves produced by some of these processes and propagating through ice/rock and air can be monitored and used to understand otherwise unreachable rapid phenomena. Such in situ records were obtained during a comprehensive international expedition to the Bowdoin Glacier, Greenland in 2015. Analysis revealed the mechanisms of tide-modulated seismicity (as a proxy for ice fracturing temporary patterns) and were recently published [Podolskiy et al., GRL, 2016]. We also note, that in order to accommodate new circumstances of the fellow and a possibility of an early termination of the fellowship for starting a new job as an Assistant Professor in Dec 2015, the geographical location of the initially proposed glacier had to be changed from Patagonia to Greenland. Otherwise it would be impossible to conduct summer field work before the early end of the fellowship (summer campaign in southern hemisphere was supposed to take place in Jan-Feb 2016; while for Greenland it was possible to held in Jul-Aug 2015). Despite this change, objectives of the study remained principally intact and were focused on seismic observations for understanding glacier dynamics, as initially proposed.

UK, How do you record one of the most notoriously shy animals on the planet? Accidentally...

Geophysicist Evgeny Podolskiy was busying himself recording the sounds of glaciers in Greenland when he suddenly realised that he had stumbled on the summering grounds of a population of narwhals.

So began an odyssey in sound featuring social calls, echolocation and hunting clicks - and, amazingly, a local Inuit hunting expedition., [Media report]

In the 10th episode of my interview series I am delighted to speak with my friend from the good old Japanese days, Evgeny Podolskiy, assistant professor at the Arctic Research Center, Hokkaido University in Sapporo, Japan. He graduated from the Department of Cryolithology and Glaciology, Faculty of Geography, Lomonosov Moscow State University, though later on his research career took an interesting turn — for the last several years Evgeny has been working in the field that did not exist when he was a student — cryoseismology (study of ice-quakes). We speak about that and how his interest in seismic waves has evolved into smth unexpected, [Media report]
