High-resolution mapping of tidewater glaciers of Hornsund with Terrestrial Laser Scanning, RiS ID 10414

The tidewater glaciers of Hornsund have undergone a dramatic recession since the end of LIA, exposing a new embayment of Brepollen. Caving remains the most important sink in the overall mass balance, enhancing the retreat rate. In order to investigate the calving mechanisms and mass balance the g...
