Investigation of the effects and evidence of late Quaternary glaciers on the Binaloud Heights
The purpose of this study was to identify evidence of late Quaternary glaciers in the northern highlands of Binalood. Topographic maps, satellite imagery and climatic data are the tools and data used in this study. Arc gis 10.4 software was used for data analysis. Quaternary glacier evidences were identified based on four types of evidences including morphic indices, climatic evidences, geomorp...
متن کاملApplication of remote sensing data in measuring the area of the Zardkuh glaciers
Glaciers influenced by climatic factors and therefore as an important indicator in the study of climate change are studied. Although morphometric analyzes of glaciers based on the analysis of optical satellite data can provide an opportunity to measure ice outcrops, but the identification and determination of the buried glaciers underneath the glacial debris and, consequently, the determination...
متن کاملMicrobial diversity on Icelandic glaciers and ice caps
Algae are important primary colonizers of snow and glacial ice, but hitherto little is known about their ecology on Iceland's glaciers and ice caps. Due do the close proximity of active volcanoes delivering large amounts of ash and dust, they are special ecosystems. This study provides the first investigation of the presence and diversity of microbial communities on all major Icelandic glaciers...
متن کاملRetreat of Tropical Glaciers in Colombia and Venezuela from 1984 to 2004 as Measured from ASTER and Landsat Images
Like glaciers throughout the world, tropical glaciers in the northern Andes have retreated during the last century. In this study, the retreat of Andean glaciers in Colombian and Venezuela has been mapped from Landsat and ASTER images acquired between 1984 and 2004. Glacier retreat has been mapped for three glaciated regions in Columbia, the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, the Sierra Nevada del C...
متن کاملHigh altitude Himalayan climate inferred from glacial ice flux
[1] Glaciological processes are modeled to investigate precipitation patterns and the resulting mass flux of snow and ice across Himalayan topography. Our model tracks the accumulation and ablation of snow and ice and the transport of snow and ice across the topography by glacier motion. We investigate high elevation precipitation on the Annapurna Massif by comparing the existing ice cover with...
