Glacier changes over the past 144 years at Alexandra Fiord, Ellesmere Island, Canada
Journal of Glaciology, 2021 In this study, we use aerial photographs, satellite imagery and field observations to quantify changes in the area, terminus length, snowline elevation and surface elevation of eight glaciers in the Alexandra Fiord region, eastern Ellesmere Island ...

Slight change of glaciers in the Pamir over the period 2000–2017
Arctic, Antarctic, and Alpine Research, 2022 Glaciers in the Pamir are the water tower of arid Central Asia, and more than 50 million people depend on meltwater from them. Many studies have reported glacier changes in the Pamir, but the glacier inventories employed in the previous investigations ...

AutoTerm: A "big data" repository of Greenland glacier termini delineated using deep learning
, 2022 Abstract. Ice sheet marine margins via outlet glaciers are susceptible to climate change and are expected to respond through retreat, steepening, and acceleration, although with significant spatial heterogeneity. However, research on ice-ocean interactions has continued to rely on decentralized, manual mapping of features at the ice-ocean interface ...

Using L-band SAR coherence to delineate glacier extent
Canadian Journal of Remote Sensing, 2010 Significant retreat has been seen in many glaciers worldwide. With increasing concern about the impact of global warming, there has been a concerted effort to monitor ongoing change. Projects such as Global Land Ice Measurements from Space (GLIMS) rely on the contributions of institutions worldwide to update a global database of digital glacier ...

Improving semi-automated glacier mapping with a multi-method approach: applications in central Asia [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2015 Studies of glaciers generally require precise glacier outlines. Where these are not available, extensive manual digitization in a geographic information system (GIS) must be performed, as current algorithms struggle to delineate glacier areas with debris
