These glaciers are described in a single chapter.
The book mainly covers the physical environment such as surface processes (glaciers, frost action, rivers) and ice- ocean interactions.
For a high number of data sets, both topography and glacier flow can be estimated with high accuracy.
Application of image crosscorrelation to the measurement of glacier velocity using satellite image data.
Field and his co-workers visited many glaciers and recorded (using photography) for the first time how they had receded.
Investigations of the form and flow of ice sheets and glaciers using radio-echo sounding.
You will rarely see better quality photographs of glaciers in terms of sharpness, contrast and composition.
Many potential applications follow from the ability to map the surface of the glacier in such high detail.
