• A simple mechanism for irreversible tidewater glacier retreat (2007, background): “The dynamics of ice-ocean interaction at marine termini bears on a wide range of important problems, from iceberg hazards [Tangborn and Post, 1998] to the determination of sea level inputs from Alaska, Arctic Canada, Greenland and Antarctica [Thomas et al., 2000; Arendt et al., 2002; Rignot and Ka”
• Winter Biological Processes Could Help Convert Arctic Tundra to Shrubland (2005, background): “…2003), including (a) a reduction in the extent and thickness of sea ice (Parkinson et al. 1999), (b) the retreat of arctic and subarctic glaciers (Arendt et al. 2002), (c) increased annual discharge from large northward-flowing rivers (Peterson et al. 2002), and (d) an Arctic-wide increase in…”
• Present-Day Sea Level Change: Observations and Causes (2003, background): “Recently, Arendt et al. [2002] have provided new estimates of the contribution of Alaska glaciers to sea level rise by measuring volume and area change of 67 glaciers (2% of glaciers in Alaska) using airborne laser altimetry for 1993– 1996 and conventional aerial topographic photographs acquired in ”
• The Economics of Climate Change in Southeast Asia: A Regional Review (2009, background): “At the upper end of observations are those of Arendt et al. (2002) and Rignot et al. (2003), both highlighting a rise of 3.1 mm per year over the past decade compared to 1.7–2.4 mm per year averaged over the entire 20th century, with the rate of increase varying by location (Table 3.6).”
• Wetland drying and succession across the Kenai Peninsula Lowlands, south-central Alaska (2005, methodology): “For example, glacial recession (Arendt et al. 2002) and vegetative change (Sturm 2001; Silapaswan et al. 2001) have been documented using photos and map coverage from the middle of last century to the present.”
