Monitoring glacier flow speed and calving rates is of interest for climate research, global sea-level studies and Arctic ship traffic. The research station in Ny-Ålesund, Svalbard, offers a unique location close to multiple glacier fronts. In this study,

Medvezhiy Glacier surge in 2011
The paper presents results of monitoring of the Medvezhiy Glacier state for the period from its surge of 2001 to the last pulsation of 2011. This monitoring is performed based on the photographing made from the Russian section of the International Space ...

ESTIMATION OF SHIE GLACIER SURFACE MOVEMENT USING OFFSET TRACKING TECHNIQUE WITH COSMO-SKYMED IMAGES [PDF]
Movement is one of the most important characteristics of glaciers which can cause serious natural disasters. For this reason, monitoring this massive blocks is a crucial task.

Globally, about 250 Holocene volcanoes are either glacier-clad or have glaciers in close proximity. Interactions between volcanoes and glaciers are therefore common, and some of the most deadly (e.g., Nevado del Ruiz, 1985) and most costly (e.g ...

A REPLICABLE OPEN-SOURCE MULTI-CAMERA SYSTEM FOR LOW-COST 4D GLACIER MONITORING [PDF]
Image-based monitoring has emerged as a prevalent technique for sensing mountain environments. Monoscopic time-lapse cameras, which rely on digital image correlation to quantify glacier motion, have limitations due to the need for a Digital Elevation ...

Decay of a long-term monitored glacier: Careser Glacier (Ortles-Cevedale, European Alps) [PDF]
Abstract. The continuation of valuable, long-term glacier observation series is threatened by the accelerated mass loss which currently affects a large portion of so-called "benchmark" glaciers. In this work we present the evolution of the Careser Glacier, from the beginning of systematic observation at the end of the 19th century to its current ...

Since the last complete glacier mapping of Mt. Kenya in 2004, strong glacier retreat and glacier disintegration have been reported. Here, we compile and present a new glacier inventory of Mt. Kenya to document recent glacier change. Glacier area and mass

Correlations between glacier properties: finding appropriate parameters for global glacier monitoring [PDF]
AbstractTo develop new strategies for global mass-balance monitoring, data for the period 1961–90 have been compiled for 80 glaciers with a variety of mass-balance and morphological parameters. This dataset is significantly larger than that used in previous studies.

GlacioTools: Streamlining Glacier Feature Monitoring and Reporting in QGIS [PDF]
Mountain glaciers are highly sensitive to climate change, having lost nearly half their surface area and two-thirds of their volume in the European Alps since 1850.

A new index of glacier area change: a tool for glacier monitoring [PDF]
AbstractSince the mid-19th century, most glaciers have been losing area and volume. This loss of area has not been homogeneous in time and space, and direct observations are sparse, making regional and global estimates of glacier change difficult.
