| Title: | Half a century of measurements of glaciers on Axel Heiberg Island, Nunavut, Canada / J.G. Cogley, W.P. Adams, M.A. Ecclestone. |
| Author(s): | Cogley, J. G. Adams, W. P. Ecclestone, M. A. |
| Date: | 2011. |
| In: | Arctic. (2011.), Vol. 64(3) (2011) |
| Abstract: | Illustrates value of longevity in high-latitude glaciological measurement series with results from programme of research in Expedition Fiord area of western Axel Heiberg Island that began in 1959. Investigations in following decades have focused on: glacier zonation; thermal regime of polythermal White Glacier; and contrast between evolution of White Glacier (retreating) and adjacent Thompson Glacier (advancing until recently). Mass-balance monitoring, initiated in 1959, continues to 2011. |
