Sensitivity of Rhonegletscher, Switzerland, to climate change : Experiments with a one-dimensional flowline model

A one-dimensional time-dependent flowline model of Rhonegletscher, Switzerland, has been used to test the glacier's response to climatic warming. Mass-balance variations over the last 100 years are obtained from observations of the equilibrium-line altitude (ELA) and a reconstruction of the ELA...
