  Dec. 21, 2021360 words Brief article The Snow, Ice, and Aerosol Radiative (SNICAR) model has been used in various capacities over the last 15 years to model the spectral albedo of snow with light-absorbing constituents (LACs). Recent studies have extended...

• Quantifying bioalbedo: a new physically based model and discussion of empirical methods for characterising biological influence on ice and snow albedo

  Authors:Joseph M. Cook, Andrew J. Hodson, Alex S. Gardner, Mark Flanner, Andrew J. Tedstone, Christopher Williamson, et al.From:The Cryosphere (Vol. 11, Issue 6) Peer-Reviewed

  Nov. 17, 2017327 words Brief article, Repor... The darkening effects of biological impurities on ice and snow have been recognised as a control on the surface energy balance of terrestrial snow, sea ice, glaciers and ice sheets. With a heightened interest in...

• ESM-SnowMIP: assessing snow models and quantifying snow-related climate feedbacks

  Authors:Gerhard Krinner, Chris Derksen, Richard Essery, Mark Flanner, Stefan Hagemann, Martyn Clark, et al.From:Geoscientific Model Development (Vol. 11, Issue 12) Peer-Reviewed

  Dec. 10, 2018141 words Author abstract, Bri...

  This paper describes ESM-SnowMIP, an international coordinated modelling effort to evaluate current snow schemes, including snow schemes that are included in Earth system models, in a wide variety of settings against...

• Using ICESat-2 and Operation IceBridge altimetry for supraglacial lake depth retrievals.

  Authors:Zachary Fair, Mark Flanner, Kelly M. Brunt, Helen Amanda Fricker, and Alex GardnerFrom:The Cryosphere (Vol. 14, Issue 11) Peer-Reviewed

  Nov. 27, 2020267 words Brief article Supraglacial lakes and melt ponds occur in the ablation zones of Antarctica and Greenland during the summer months. Detection of lake extent, depth, and temporal evolution is important for understanding glacier dynamics....

• Monitoring of snow surface near-infrared bidirectional reflectance factors with added light-absorbing particles

  Authors:Adam Schneider, Mark Flanner, Roger De Roo, and Alden AdolphFrom:The Cryosphere (Vol. 13, Issue 6) Peer-Reviewed

  July 1, 2019249 words Brief article

  Broadband snow albedo can range from 0.3 to 0.9 depending on microphysical properties and light-absorbing particle (LAP) concentrations. Beyond the widely observed direct and visibly apparent effect of darkening...

• Glacier algae accelerate melt rates on the south-western Greenland Ice Sheet.

  Authors:Joseph M. Cook, Andrew J. Tedstone, Christopher Williamson, Jenine McCutcheon, Andrew J. Hodson, Archana Dayal, et al.From:The Cryosphere (Vol. 14, Issue 1) Peer-Reviewed

  Jan. 29, 2020416 words Article Melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) is the largest single contributor to eustatic sea level and is amplified by the growth of pigmented algae on the ice surface, which increases solar radiation absorption. This...

• LS3MIP (v1.0) contribution to CMIP6: the Land Surface, Snow and Soil moisture Model Intercomparison Project - aims, setup and expected outcome

  Authors:Bart van den Hurk, Hyungjun Kim, Gerhard Krinner, Sonia I. Seneviratne, Chris Derksen, Taikan Oki, et al.From:Geoscientific Model Development (Vol. 9, Issue 8) Peer-Reviewed

  Authors:Yang Li and Mark G. FlannerFrom:Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics (Vol. 18, Issue 21) Peer-Reviewed

  Nov. 7, 2018299 words Author abstract, Bri...

  Accelerating surface melt on the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) has led to a doubling of Greenland's contribution to global sea level rise during recent decades. Black carbon (BC), dust, and other light-absorbing...
