Recession of Glacier Tasîssârssik A, East Greenland

Abstract The maximum diameters of a lichen of known growth rate have been measured on the bedrock flanking glacier Tasîssârssik A (lat. 66° 06′ N., long. 36° 58′ W.) in East Greenland. The estimated age of the lateral trimline of this glacier is 133±20 yr., indicating that the recent recession of th...
