Mass balance of the ice sheets and glaciers – Progress since AR5 and challenges

Recent research shows increasing decadal ice mass losses from the Greenland and Antarctic Ice Sheets and more generally from glaciers worldwide in the light of continued global warming. Here, in an update of our previous ISMASS paper (Hanna et al., 2013), we review recent observational estimates of ice sheet and glacier mass balance, and...

Turbulent flows driven by the libration of an ellipsoidal container

We present a combination of laboratory experiments and numerical simulations modelling a geophysically relevant mechanical forcing: libration. Longitudinal libration corresponds to the periodic oscillation of a body's rotation and is, along with precessional and tidal forcings, a possible source of turbulence in the fluid interior of satellites...

Potential model for tetrathiafulvalene based on inelastic neutron scattering and Raman spectra

Tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) is a key molecule in the family of charge-transfer salts of interest for their novel transport properties. The correspondence between transport property and electron-molecular vibration coupling requires that we understand the phonon density of states for these materials. Here we report the results of a low temperature...

The relation between subtidal sea level fluctuations and atmospheric forcing in the Bahia Bianca Estuary, Argentina

This report deals with the results of a traineeship carried out as part of the MSc. program of Physical Geography at the Faculty of Geographical Sciences at Utrecht University. In this report, a review is presented of the tidal characteristics in the Bahia Bianca Estuary, a mesotidal coastal plain estuary in the southwest of the Buenos Aires...
