Snow, Glacier, and Glacier Lake Mapping and Monitoring Using Remote Sensing Data
2021Nowadays, remote sensing (RS) technology under the space programs of the world’s leading agencies provides multispectral optical and microwave data for natural resource mapping of the Earth’s surface. Snow and glacier mapping are critical for the accurate assessment of water resource availability on the Earth’s cryosphere and to quantify the impact of ...

Glacier Mapping and Monitoring Using Multispectral Data
2014Multispectral satellite data represent the primary data source for spaceborne glacier mapping and monitoring, and remote-sensing studies have generated significant results regarding global glacier observations and understandings. In this chapter we provide an overview of the use of multispectral data and the methods typically applied in glacier studies.

Mapping glacier basal sliding with machine learning
2023During the RESOLVE project ("High-resolution imaging in subsurface geophysics: development of a multi-instrument platform for interdisciplinary research"), continuous surface displacement and seismic array observations were obtained on Glacier d'Argentière in the French Alps for 35 days in May 2018.

SOME FUNDAMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS ON GLACIER MAPPING
Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences, 1966Five glacier maps at scales of 1:5 000 and 1:10 000 were produced by the Photogrammetric Research Section of the National Research Council and the Axel Heiberg Island Expedition of McGill University for use in glaciological research in the Canadian Arctic. After general comments on the need for and scope of glacier mapping, the authors discuss in some

THE PURPOSE OF GLACIER MAPPING
Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences, 1966As 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.

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 ...

MEASURING AND MAPPING OF GLACIER VARIATIONS
Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences, 1966One of the main purposes of glacier mapping is to determine the temporary state of glaciers and to investigate glacier variations by successive mappings. The author illustrates this work with particular reference to terrestrial photogrammetric surveys of mountain glaciers in the Nanga Parbat region of the Himalaya and of the Tunsbergdalsbre in ...

CARTOGRAPHIC REPRESENTATION AND SYMBOLIZATION IN GLACIER MAPPING
Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences, 1966In glacier cartography, as in all mapping, questions of convention and standardization have long plagued cartographers. National and international efforts at standardization have generally failed. To assess the styles, techniques, and status of glacier representation, several hundred maps of glaciers and related features were examined and evaluated ...

Glacier Thickness Change Mapping Using InSAR Methodology
IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Letters, 2014This letter presents a novel method for high-precision estimation of mountain glacier thickness change from the conventional interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) interferograms and multiaperture InSAR measurements. The method exploits the two components of displacement along the line of sight of radar beam and along track for deriving the ...

Lakes, Rivers And Glaciers / A Map Commentary
Cartographica, 1968The map entitled Lakes, Rivers and Glaciers is the first of a new series that will supplement the National Atlas of Canada presently in production in the Department of Energy, Mines and Resources, Ottawa. The purpose of this series of separate map sheets is to make available a limited amount of new material in periods between the publication of atlas ...
