Mass Balance and Energy Balance at Strandline Glacier (Terra Nova Bay, Antarctica): Methods and Preliminary Results
Intensive fieldwork was carried out during the 16'" Italian Campaign in Antarctica (2000-2001) with the intention of completing the groundwork required for calculating the mass balance and energy balance of several local glaciers in northern Victoria Land. The studied glaciers are of limit...
