Glacier mass balance of the Melville South Ice Cap
Principal Investigator: Burgess, David O
Licensed Year(s): 2023 2022 2021 2019 2018 2017 2016 2015 2014 2013 2012 2011 2010 2009
Summary: The objectives of this study are to estimate the amount of water equivalent mass the Melville South Ice Cap loses (or gains) on an annual basis, and to derive a long-term climate record from glacier measurements and weather station data in order to determine trends in climate change for this region of the NWT. Mass balance is measured at each of the ~21 poles across the ice cap as function of s...
