A Photogrammetric Survey of Hoseason Glacier, Kemp Coast, Antarctica

Abstract

AbstractA study of Hoseason Glacier was made to test whether photogrammetry could yield meaningful glaciological information from repeated series of air photographs without ground control. Three maps indicate that large time differences, different camera systems, and the use of sea ice as a level datum do not present insurmountable difficulties in photogrammetric reduction. Surface horizontal movement was determined and level profiles were compiled. Hoseason Glacier is probably in equilibrium.
