Title: | Developing a device to measure mountain glaciers / Anon. |
Date: | 1998. |
In: | Geophysical Institute. Quarterly. (1998.), Vol. 15(1) (1998) |
Abstract: | Describes new device developed by University of Alaska Fairbanks to measure height of glaciers to within 0.3 m. Mounted in bottom of plane, it sends pulse of laser light to surface of glacier, with computer calculating distance from aircraft to glacier. Aircraft position is determined by GPS. |
