Dynamics of a small surge-type glacier, St. Elias Mountains, Yukon Territory, Canada: characterization of basal motion using 1-D geophysical inversion

The dynamics of a small surge-type glacier are investigated as part of a study to characterize glacier response to climate in southwest Yukon Territory, Canada. DEMs of the glacier surface and bed are constructed from surface elevation and ice thickness data. Measured surface velocities are higher t...
