Glacier change in northern Sweden from AD 500: a simple geometric model of Storglaciären

Abstract A simple geometric model of glacier volume is derived. The model is based on the assumption that the net mass balance averaged over the glacier surface is related to the summer temperature and winter accumulation at a representative height on the glacier. This height varies with time as cli...
