Volume Balance of White Glacier Terminus, Axel Heiberg Island

Digital elevation models of the White Glacier terminus for 1960 and 2003 are produced in order to calculate terminus retreat and volume change. Below 440 m a.s.l., surface elevation is decreasing at an average rate of-0.35 m a-1, implying a-14.36 ± 0.73 m loss of glacier ice during this 42 balance-y...
