Ice volume changes (1936–1990–2007) and ground-penetrating radar studies of Ariebreen, Hornsund, Spitsbergen
Ariebreen is a small (0.37 km2)-valley glacier located in southern Spitsbergen. Our ground-penetrating radar surveys of the glacier show that it is less than 30 m thick on average, with a maximum thickness of 82 m, and it appears to be entirely cold. By analysing digital terrain models of the ice su...
