Investigation of Grounding Line Dynamics and Thinning of Milne Glacier, Nunavut Using In-situ and Satellite Data
Posted 6 years ago
The line where glaciers transition from grounded to floating is particularly susceptible to changes caused by warming in the Arctic. Grounding line retreat is associated with ice thickness reduction and enhanced ice discharge. Milne Glacier, located on Ellesmere Island, Nunavut (Fig. 1), is a surge-type glacier [1]. Its bed is on a retrograde slope, therefore, […]
