Mass Balance of Two High Arctic Plateau Ice Caps
Mass-balance measurements have been renewed on two small ice caps on north-eastern Ellesmere Island. Original stake networks were established in 1972 and 1976. Since then, both ice caps have experienced significant mass losses averaging -70 to -140 kg m- 2 a-I. They have also decreased in area. The...
