PHOTOGRAMMETRIC AND MECHANICAL ANALYSIS OF GLACIERS WITH AN EMPHASIS ON TIDEWATER GLACIER DYNAMICS
Hanson T. 2005. PHOTOGRAMMETRIC AND MECHANICAL ANALYSIS OF GLACIERS WITH AN EMPHASIS ON TIDEWATER GLACIER DYNAMICS
Photogrammetric comparison of 5 glaciers in the Kenai Fjords of Alaska was used to analyze the overall movements of the glaciers between the years of 1990 and 2004. Photographs of two other well studied and highly affected mountain glaciers were also used to show the climate related movements of alpine glaciers. The photogrammetric results document that alpine glaciers have receded due to climatic changes and that tidewater glaciers have receded and advanced due to non-climatic influences.
