2014-field-trip

Data was collected from the dGPS units and camera during 2014 which led to lots of research on links between glacier movement, weather and the river level.

GPR survey of the glacier in 2014

We carried out an annual survey of the ice depth using the 50MHz ground penetrating radar – allowing us to compare the data across several years. As you can see there was a lot of snow on the ice even in the summer.

This meant many of the stations were buried in 2m of snow and needed digging out.

This photo shows our trail up the glacier to the base station and GPS station and the snow level which was only on the lower part of the ice where it accumulated

this humble timelapse camera (brinno) gave us the chance to work on image processing  to measure the river level.

this humble time-lapse camera (brinno) gave us the chance to add data to our  image processing  paper on river level measurement. In 2014 we downloaded the usb stick and changed its batteries.
