Glaciers of Canada: Glaciers of the St. Elias Mountains / Garry K.C. Clarke, Gerald Holdsworth.
Title: | Glaciers of Canada: Glaciers of the St. Elias Mountains / Garry K.C. Clarke, Gerald Holdsworth. |
Author(s): | Clarke, Garry K. C. Holdsworth, Gerald. |
Date: | 2002. |
In: | U.S. Geological Survey professional paper. (2002.), Vol. 1386-J1 (2002) |
Abstract: | Ice fields and their outlet glaciers, plateau glaciers, valley and piedmont glaciers are common throughout St Elias Mountains, straddling borders of Canada and USA. Areas range up to 1200 km². At least 136 of sub-polar glaciers are surge-type glaciers; their looped medial moraines are distinctive on Landsat images. Employs sequential Landsat images in analysing dynamics of Tweedsmuir and Lowell (surging) Glaciers. |
Notes: | U.S. Geological Survey professional paper. Vol. 1386-J1 :iv, 301-328 (2002). In issue Satellite Image Atlas of Glaciers of the World: Glaciers of North America, edited by Richard S. Williams and Jane G. Ferrigno. Includes section on Quantitative measurements of Tweedsmuir and Lowell Glacier imagery, by Gerald Holdsworth, Philip J. Howarth and C. Simon L. Ommanney. |
