Glaciologists measure, model hard glacier beds, write slip law to estimate glacier speeds
During their trips to glacier beds recently exposed by retreating glaciers in the Swiss Alps (Rhone, Schwarzburg and Tsanfleuron glaciers) and the Canadian Rockies (Castleguard Glacier), four glaciologists used laser and drone technology to precisely measure the rocky beds and record their very different contours. The researchers turned the measurements into high-resolution digital models of … Continue reading Glaciologists measure, model hard glacier beds, write slip law to estimate glacier speeds
