Monitoring glacier flow speed and calving rates is of interest for climate research, global sea-level studies and Arctic ship traffic. The research station in Ny-Ålesund, Svalbard, offers a unique location close to multiple glacier fronts. In this study, we explore the possibilities of permanent mon...
