We apply cross-correlation to Pléiades satellite images to generate accurate, highresolution monthly surface velocity maps of Monte Tronador glaciers between March and June 2012. Measured surface displacements cover periods as short as 19 days, with a precision of 0.58 m (11 m a–1). These glaciers f...
