Antarctic glacier-tongue velocities from Landsat images: first results / B.K. Lucchitta, K.F. Mullins, A.L. Allison, Jane G. Ferrigno.

Title: Antarctic glacier-tongue velocities from Landsat images: first results / B.K. Lucchitta, K.F. Mullins, A.L. Allison, Jane G. Ferrigno.

Date: 1993.
In: Annals of Glaciology. (1993.), Vol. 17 (1993)
Abstract: Velocities of 6 glacier tongues and some other tongues within ice shelves distributed around Antarctic coastline were measured by determining displacement of crevasses pattern seen on sequential Landsat images. Velocities range from <0.2 km a⁻¹ for east Antarctic ice-shelf tongues to >2.5 km a⁻¹ for Thwaites Glacier tongue. All glacier tongues show increases in velocity toward their distal margins. In general, tongues of glaciers draining west Antarctic ice sheet have moved significantly faster than those in east Antarctica.
