A low-cost glacier-mapping system [PDF]
Journal of Glaciology, 2000 AbstractAn old portable 60 MHz radar has been upgraded with a new digital data-processing and -acquisition system and a new antenna construction enabling a fast and low-cost installation on a Twin Otter aircraft. Augmented by a laser altimeter and kinematic global positioning system (GPS), the system has the capability of acquiring accurate data on ...

Advances in Space Research, 2022 Himalayan glaciers have shown more sensitivity and visible changes to the climate change and global warming in the last 150 years. The highly rugged topography and inaccessible remote areas makes satellite images as the most appropriate source of information retrieval.

Mapping Canada’s Glaciers Since 1965 [PDF]
Annals of Glaciology, 1986 The extent and nature of Canadian glacier mapping since 1965 is traced, from snout surveys to high-order, large-scale maps, Swiss-style publications and stereo-orthophoto maps. Many maps were produced during the IHD for specific tasks, such as the determination of mass balance, plotting of isolines, etc; most were multi-coloured, with scales ranging ...

GlacierNet: A Deep-Learning Approach for Debris-Covered Glacier Mapping
IEEE Access, 2020 Rising global temperatures over the past decades is directly affecting glacier dynamics. To understand glacier fluctuations and document regional glacier-state trends, glacier-boundary detection is necessary. Debris-covered glacier (DCG) mapping, however,

Which glaciers are the largest in the world?
Journal of Glaciology, 2023 Glacier monitoring has been internationally coordinated for more than 125 years. Despite this long history, there is no authoritative answer to the popular question: ‘Which glaciers are the largest in the world?’ Here, we present the first systematic ...

Annals of Glaciology, 2016 A glacierized terrain comprises different land covers, and their mapping using satellite data is challenged by their spectral similarity. We propose a hierarchical knowledge-based classification (HKBC) approach for differentiation of glacier terrain ...

A semi-automated, GIS-based framework for the mapping of supraglacial hydrology
Journal of Glaciology, 2023 Supraglacial drainage networks play an integral role in both glacier dynamics and run-off timing, and mapping them provides insight into their role in glacial systems.

Remote Sensing, 2023 The significant retreat of glaciers in terms of climate change compels researchers to increase the frequency of studies regarding the transformations occurring in glacier boundaries. In this study, we provided glacier area delineation of Ala-Archa valley

Remote Sensing, 2022 Mapping the outlines of glaciers has primarily relied on the interpretation of satellite optical images. However, the accurate delineation of glaciers in complex terrain mountain regions remains challenging, mainly because the supraglacial debris-covered
