THE PURPOSE OF GLACIER MAPPING [PDF]
Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences, 1966 As an introduction to the Symposium on Glacier Mapping and for the purpose of providing a basis for further discussion, the requirements in various types of glacier maps are differentiated. Most maps of glaciers are not made specifically for glaciologists but as part of a general geographical survey program.

Mapping alpine glaciers changes from space
IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2003This paper presents the results obtained from the analysis of a set of multitemporal Landsat images for the study of the status of the Italian Alpine glaciers. A fuzzy set based classification technique has permitted the identification of snow and exposed ice in glaciated areas.

SOME PROBLEMS OF GLACIER MAPPING EXPERIENCED WITH THE 1:10 000 MAP OF THE ALETSCH GLACIER
Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences, 1966The difficulties of the aerial survey of the Aletsch Glacier lay in establishing ground control in the high mountains and locally on the moving glacier surface, and in plotting featureless névés on the autograph. The major problem in plotting proved to be the delineation of the margins of active glaciers where marginal zones were thickly covered with ...

<p>One consequence of current and likely future melting of high mountain glaciers is the development of glacial lakes. Their evolution over time has implications for future water supplies in arid mountains and for the timing and magnitude of glacier hazards, such as Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs).</p><p&

Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences, 1966
The history and problems of mapping in Greenland are briefly reviewed, with particular reference to the Indlandsis (the Ice Cap) and the glaciers. The author calls for greater collaboration between the glaciologist and the topographer, and cautions against placing too great reliance on the present maps for calculations of the volume of the Indlandsis.
