RECESSION OF KAFFIØYRA REGION GLACIERS, OSCAR II LAND, SVALBARD
The main aim of this research was to describe the course of the glacier retreat in the Kaffiøyra Region, starting from the maximum advance of the glaciers to the year 2009. From maps and archival data as well as the results of the field measurements and GPS measurements carried out in the years 1977...
