Book Description
"This report describes the background, methodology and results of using annual Minimum Snow and Ice (MSI) extent derived from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) 250 m data to validate glacier outline data from the Randolph Glacier Inventory: Version 5.0 (RGI 5.0). This work was a four part collaborative effort conducted by 1) a team from the Canada Centre for Remote Sensing (CCRS) who produced the MODIS MSI raster data and worked with the Atlas of Canada Data (Atlas Data) team to facilitate the use of the raster imagery, 2) the CCRS GeoAnalytics team who evaluated sources of glacier data, 3) the Atlas Data team who carried out the classification and vectorization of the MODIS raster imagery and the validation of the RGI 5.0 glaciers and 4) the Geological Survey of Canada (GSC) who advised on the interpretation of Google Earth and LANDSAT 8 OLI_TIRS image products that were used as references. In particular, it was observed that seventeen glaciers with an area greater than 2.0 km2 are suspected of having either fully or significantly melted. They are distributed across northern Canada, with four located in the Yukon, seven located in Arctic Canada South region and six located in Arctic Canada North region. The validated glacier data will be generalized to the 1:1,000,000 scale and used as a national scale dataset for Canadian glaciers”--Abstract, p. 4.

Global Land Ice Measurements from Space
Author: Jeffrey S. KargelPublisher: Springer
ISBN: 3540798188
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 936
Book Description
An international team of over 150 experts provide up-to-date satellite imaging and quantitative analysis of the state and dynamics of the glaciers around the world, and they provide an in-depth review of analysis methodologies. Includes an e-published supplement. Global Land Ice Measurements from Space - Satellite Multispectral Imaging of Glaciers (GLIMS book for short) is the leading state-of-the-art technical and interpretive presentation of satellite image data and analysis of the changing state of the world's glaciers. The book is the most definitive, comprehensive product of a global glacier remote sensing consortium, Global Land Ice Measurements from Space (GLIMS, http://www.glims.org). With 33 chapters and a companion e-supplement, the world's foremost experts in satellite image analysis of glaciers analyze the current state and recent and possible future changes of glaciers across the globe and interpret these findings for policy planners. Climate change is with us for some time to come, and its impacts are being felt by the world's population. The GLIMS Book, to be released about the same time as the IPCC's 5th Assessment report on global climate warming, buttresses and adds rich details and authority to the global change community's understanding of climate change impacts on the cryosphere. This will be a definitive and technically complete reference for experts and students examining the responses of glaciers to climate change. World experts demonstrate that glaciers are changing in response to the ongoing climatic upheaval in addition to other factors that pertain to the circumstances of individual glaciers. The global mosaic of glacier changes is documented by quantitative analyses and are placed into a perspective of causative factors. Starting with a Foreword, Preface, and Introduction, the GLIMS book gives the rationale for and history of glacier monitoring and satellite data analysis. It includes a comprehensive set of six "how-to" methodology chapters, twenty-five chapters detailing regional glacier state and dynamical changes, and an in-depth summary and interpretation chapter placing the observed glacier changes into a global context of the coupled atmosphere-land-ocean system. An accompanying e-supplement will include oversize imagery and other other highly visual renderings of scientific data.
