Fluctuations of Heard Island Glaciers between 1947-2014
Heard Island glacier have been of interest since the island was first occupied. The fluctuations of these glaciers have previously been discussed by Budd and Stephenson (1970), Allison and Keage (1986), Budd (2000), Ruddell (2006), Donoghue (2009), and Cogley et al (2014). This is an initial report...
