Knowledge of glacier equilibrium-line altitude (ELA) changes and trends in time is essentialfor future predictions of glacier volumes. We present a novel method for determining trends in ELAchange at McCall Glacier, Alaska, USA, over the last 50 years, based on mapping of the cold–temperatetransitio...
