Marine-terminating outlet glaciers experience a combination of seasonal and climate-driven change. Nearby glaciers exhibit very different retreat and advance behavior despite being situated in similar climatic conditions. This highlights the demand to essentially improve our understanding of the driving mechanisms and to provide a basis for parameterizations of oceanic forcing that are fed into mass-loss projections. Temporal changes of glacial flow velocities are presumably linked to the evolution of the subglacial hydrological system. Depending on the type of subglacial system, the temporal acceleration of the glacier is represented by different characteristics. While this is typically investigated only along a central flow line, the spatial distribution contains more information on the cause of the acceleration. In a similar way, the spatial pattern of acceleration due to changes at the calving front is likely driven by upstream propagation of changes in stresses. Hence, understanding the mechanisms in detail requires an analysis of different physical variables in high temporal and spatial resolution and combination with ice modelling. With the new generation of satellites the era of big data has started in glaciology, and new efficient methods to analyze change patterns are required.
This collection contains Supporting Information for the publication "From sunrise to sunset - Exploring landscape preference through global reactions to ephemeral events captured in georeferenced social media" (PLOS). Abstract: Events profoundly influence human-environment interactions. Through repetition, some events manifest and amplify collective behavioral traits, which significantly affects landscapes and their use, meaning, and value. However, the majority of research on reaction to events focuses on case studies, based on spatial subsets of data. This makes it difficult to put observations into context and to isolate sources of noise or bias found in data. As a result, inclusion of perceived aesthetic values, for example, in cultural ecosystem services, as a means to protect and develop landscapes, remains problematic. In this work, we focus on human behavior worldwide by exploring global reactions to sunset and sunrise using two datasets collected from Instagram and Flickr. By focusing on the consistency and reproducibility of results across these datasets, our goal is to contribute to the development of more robust methods for identifying landscape preference using geo-social media data, while also exploring motivations for photographing these particular events. Based on a four facet context model, reactions to sunset and sunrise are explored for Where, Who, What, and When. We further compare reactions across different groups, with the aim of quantifying differences in behavior and information spread. Our results suggest that a balanced assessment of landscape preference across different regions and datasets is possible, which strengthens representativity and exploring the How and Why in particular event contexts. The process of analysis is fully documented, allowing transparent replication and adoption to other events or datasets.
