Modern and Little Ice Age equilibrium-line altitudes on outlet valley glaciers from Jostedalsbreen, western Norway: an evaluation of different approaches to their calculation / Ingrid Torsnes, Noralf Rye, Atle Nesje.
Title: | Modern and Little Ice Age equilibrium-line altitudes on outlet valley glaciers from Jostedalsbreen, western Norway: an evaluation of different approaches to their calculation / Ingrid Torsnes, Noralf Rye, Atle Nesje. |
Author(s): | Torsnes, Ingrid. Rye, Noralf. Nesje, Atle. |
Date: | 1992. |
In: | Arctic and Alpine Research. (1992.), Vol. 25(2) (1992) |
Abstract: | Equilibrium-line altitudes (ELAs) of 20 glaciers were calculated using four approaches: accumulation area ratio; Kuhle's (1988) method; median elevation of glaciers; and toe-to-headwall altitude ratio, Differences in results can be attributed to differences in topography and morphology of glaciers. Accumulation area method seems to provide most reliable results. |
