The GLIMS geospatial glacier database: A new tool for studying glacier change
The Global Land Ice Measurement from Space (GLIMS) project is a cooperative effort of over sixty institutions world-wide with the goal of inventorying a majority of the world's estimated 160000 glaciers. Each institution (called a Regional Center, or RC) oversees the analysis of satellite imagery for a particular region containing glacier ice. Data received by the GLIMS team at the National Sno...
متن کاملSeasonal changes in surface albedo of Himalayan glaciers from MODIS data and links with the annual mass balance
Few glaciological field data are available on glaciers in the Hindu Kush–Karakoram–Himalayan (HKH) region, and remote sensing data are thus critical for glacier studies in this region. The main objectives of this study are to document, using satellite images, the seasonal changes of surface albedo for two Himalayan glaciers, Chhota Shigri Glacier (Himachal Pradesh, India) and Mera Glacier (Ever...
متن کاملHypsometrical Change of Gangotri Glacier since 1968 using Multitemporal DEM's
Precise estimate of glaciers, directly or indirectly influence most of the glaciological studies like ice extent, terminus position, mass balance studies, etc, thus mapping of snow and ice covered areas have continuously been one of the foremost scientific goals. Difficult access and unpredictable atmospheric condition that characterize the glacier areas have created remote sensing the foremost...
متن کاملRemote sensing and GIS technology in the Global Land Ice Measurements from Space (GLIMS) Project
Global Land Ice Measurements from Space (GLIMS) is an international consortium established to acquire satellite images of the world’s glaciers, analyze them for glacier extent and changes, and to assess these change data in terms of forcings. The consortium is organized into a system of Regional Centers, each of which is responsible for glaciers in their region of expertise. Specialized needs f...
متن کاملGlacier Mass Loss during the 1960s and 1970s in the Ak-Shirak Range (Kyrgyzstan) from Multiple Stereoscopic Corona and Hexagon Imagery
Comprehensive research on glacier changes in the Tian Shan is available for the current decade; however, there is limited information about glacier investigations of previous decades and especially before the mid 1970s. The earliest stereo images from the Corona missions were acquired in the 1960s but existing studies dealing with these images focus on single glaciers or small areas only. We de...
