Remote Sensing of Glaciers 'Techniques for Topographic, Spatial and Thematic Mapping of Glaciers'

This book brings together a number of experts in the field of remote sensing of glaciers to cover topics ranging from early terrestrial photogrammetry to the latest airborne laser and satellite radar methods for investigating glacier change. The book discusses the mass balance and flow of glaciers and physical principles that underlie remote sensing at various wavelengths, providing important background to those on instruments and techniques of measurement. The book provides a focused view of glacier measurement and monitoring that is an important contribution to investigations of glacier mass balance, with its important implications for global sea-level change over the coming century and beyond.
