1. 16. Multi-method based characterization of calving events at Sálajiegna Glacier - Lake Sulitelma, Northern Sweden

   University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi

   Author : Martin Schulthess; [2021]
   Keywords : Glaciology; Glacier; Glaciers; Calving; calving front; detection algorithm; Acoustic; Acoustics; Photogrammetry; ice-ocean interactions; UAV; drone; time-lapse; Salajiegna;
