Abstract:
Glacier and ice cap research focuses on the development of new
techniques for monitoring glaciers and ice caps. This also includes continuing
enhancement and access to conventional glacier information in the Canadian
Glacier Inventory.
1. To determine the best combination of field sensors and satellite
data to both
... inventory and measure volumetric and runoff changes in key
glacierized areas;
2. To determine the best combination of field sensors and satellite
data to perform areal measurements of snow and snow line changes in glacierized
areas;
3. To characterize the long-term annual accumulation and ablation
rate in key glacierized areas in and how these relate to global change; and,
4. To characterize the long-term volumetric change in stagnant ice
caps in the Canadian Arctic and western Canada, and how these relate to global
change.
