Volume loss from Bering Glacier (Alaska), 1972 - 2003: comment on Muskett and others (2009)

Videographic and GPS Techniques for Monitoring Active Glacial Surge: Bering Glacier, Alaska

Aerial videography in combination with GPS were used to monitor the active surge of Alaska's Bering Glacier. The large aerial extent of the study area and the unpredictable weather in coastal Alaska required innovative techniques to be used in order to successfully monitor the surge environment. A portable aerial videographic system which mounts in a variety of small aircraft was developed to a...

Ice elevations and surface change on the Malaspina Glacier, Alaska

[1] Here we use Ice, Cloud and land Elevation Satellite (ICESat)-derived elevations and surface characteristics to investigate the Malaspina Glacier of southern Alaska. Although there is significant elevation variability between ICESat tracks on this glacier, we were able to discern general patterns in surface elevation change by using a regional digital elevation model (DEM) as a reference sur...

Airborne and spaceborne DEM - and laser altimetry - derived surface elevation and volume changes of the Bering Glacier system , Alaska , USA , and Yukon , Canada , 1972 – 2006

Using airborne and spaceborne high-resolution digital elevation models and laser altimetry, we present estimates of interannual and multi-decadal surface elevation changes on the Bering Glacier system, Alaska, USA, and Yukon, Canada, from 1972 to 2006. We find: (1) the rate of lowering during 1972–95 was 0.9 0.1ma; (2) this rate accelerated to 3.0 0.7ma during 1995–2000; and (3) during 2000–03 ...
