Using remote-sensing data to determine equilibrium-line altitude and mass-balance time series: validation on three French glaciers, 1994-2002
International audience Alpine glaciers are very sensitive to climate fluctuations, and their mass balance can be used as an indicator of regional-scale climate change. Here, we present a method to calculate glacier mass balance using remote-sensing data. Snowline measurements from remotely sensed im...
