  1. 1. Assessing evolution of ice caps in Suðurland, Iceland, in years 1986 - 2014, using multispectral satellite imagery

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Alicja Miodonska; [2019]
    Keywords : remote sensing; multispectral satellite imagery; Landsat; Iceland; glaciers; ice caps; Geography; GIS; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The study focuses on the application of multispectral satellite imageries in glaciological studies. It aims to assess how the Icelandic glaciers have evolved over the last decades (from the 1980s to 2014). The study area covers Mýrdalsjökull and Eyjafjallajökull ice caps located in Suðurland, Iceland. READ MORE

  3. 2. Glacial history of the upper Drac Blanc catchment (French Alps)

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Felix Martin Hofmann; [2018]
    Keywords : Physical Geography; 10Be exposure dating; structure-from motion; geomorphological mapping; moraine; equilibrium line altitude; Alps; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Glacier advances in the Écrins massif (French Alps) during the Late Glacial and the Early Holocene are poorly constrained. Based on field observations, a high-resolution digital elevation model and an orthophoto, glacial landforms in the upper Drac Blanc catchment were mapped. READ MORE

  4. 3. The mass balance and equilibrium line altitude trends of glaciers in northern Sweden

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Caroline Hall; [2017]
    Keywords : equilibrium line altitude ELA ; net mass balance; ablation; accumulation; glaciers; Sweden; climate; precipitation; temperature; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Glaciers are of extreme importance since they hold climatic data going back 2,000 years. Glaciers can provide important services such as ecosystem services, habitats, water runoff, and hydro-energy. They also affect the Earth’s processes and many feedback mechanisms. READ MORE

  5. 4. Regional and Local Factors Influencing the Mass Balance of the Scandinavian Glaciers.

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Höglin David; [2016]
    Keywords : Glacier; climate; mass balance; PCA.; Glaciär; klimat; massbalans; PCA.;

    Abstract : According to climatic models there will be an increase in the amount of greenhouse gases which results in a warming of the earth where the change will be most prominent in the high latitudes. Glaciers mass balance is a good climate change indicator as the response is fast when climate is changing. READ MORE

  6. 5. Accumulation Area Ratio and Equilibrium Line Altitude on the Southern Patagonia Icefield, 2000 - 2010, retrieved using MODIS satellite images

    University essay from Institutionen för naturgeografi och kvartärgeologi (INK)

    Author : Gustaf Peterson; [2010]
    Keywords : Remote Sensing; Patagonia; MODIS; Glacier; Glaciology; ELA; AAR;

    Abstract : Estimations of accumulation area ratio (AAR) and equilibrium line altitude (ELA) were carried out on the Southern Patagonia Icefield. The icefield lies on the border between Chile and Argentina on the southern tip of South America. READ MORE
