Dendroglaciological analysis of supraglacial trees represents an example of applied dendrogeornorphological methods in reconstructing glacier variations. Supraglacial trees react to glacier ice and debris movement, assuming typical shapes with modified radial growth. In this paper, based on tree-rin...
