Summary: | In 2016-2017 we conducted a field study at LeConte Glacier, Alaska, to study the impacts of subglacial discharge on plume dynamics and submarine melting. As part of that study we conducted terrestrial radar surveys with a Gamma Remote Sensing Ground Portable Radar Interferometer (GPRI-II) during four field campaigns in order to (i) investigate glacier response to changes in terminus geometry and (ii) accurately quantify ice fluxes and calving fluxes for comparison with measurements of submarine melting. During each campaign the radar scanned the lower glacier and proglacial fjord every 3 minutes for about 5 days. |
