The Impact of Sampling Density on Glacier Mass Balance Determination

To assess the impact of sampling density on determination of a glacier’s annual mass balance, we used varying densities of measurement to determine annual mass balance on Columbia Glacier, Washington, and Lemon Creek Glacier, Alaska. The density of the mass balance network ranged from 1 point/km 2 t...
