Nearly 50% of the shoreline is dominated by the calving ice fronts of the large outlet glaciers.
Non-scientists regularly assisted in scientific projects, and provided one or more of the three men usually required for safety whenever scientists travelled over the glaciers.
It is the biological equivalent of the retreating glaciers and ice shelves, and yet to unravel its complexities can take a lifetime's work.
Thus, this same three-pulse pattern can be seen from tree rings, glacier advances, and last dates on buildings and monuments in the lowlands.
Is the basal ice of a temperate glacier at the pressure melting point?
Thus, the evaluation of possible error sources is still a challenging problem in glacier monitoring.
This is a location rich in wild life because there is upwelling of nutrient rich water immediately at the glacier front.
Many potential applications follow from the ability to map the surface of the glacier in such high detail.
