Project description
Ingrid will use archival aerial photography from Kartverket to create DEMs of Storbreen back to the 1960s and determine the geodetic mass balance between different time slices. This will be complimented by UAV surveys this september (hopefully), next april, and then again in September that coincide with when NVE take their in-situ measurements. This will allow a direct comparison between the field measurements and the remote sensing data, both on short (seasonal) and long (decadal) scales.
