Quantification of sediment transport into Kongsfjorden due to the glacier melt dynamics of Austre Lovenbreen using terrestrial laser scanning
International audience Climate warming causes a decrease of glaciers in Svalbard. This results in sig-nificant changes of the geomorphology of areas in glacier catchments where iceand permafrost is melting. In particular the snout of the glacier melts drasticallyand the water outflow of the glacier...
