Description
Summary:Between September 1 and September 18, 2018, we conducted field measurements at LeConte Glacier, Alaska, to study the impacts of subglacial discharge on plume dynamics and submarine melting. From September 13 to September 17, we used a UAV quadcopter to capture vertical and oblique aerial images of the LeConte terminus. Over this five day period, we conducted 2-3 campaigns per day, resulting in 12 campaigns overall. The aerial images are used to measure ice elevation and velocity at the LeConte terminus.
