Home / Education / Planet Press / Articles / Studying glaciers with animated satellite images
Frank Paul, a scientist from the University of Zurich in Switzerland, has now come up with a simple method that allows us to easily see glacier movements and changes, using the Karakoram mountain range in central Asia as an example. He started by gathering satellite images of the region taken between 1990 and 2015, which are available for free on the US Geological Survey website.

No Do you need permissions to access the location? No Description From Imaggeo.egu.eu: Picture was taken in Kazimierz Landscape Park, the most dense network of ravines (11km/km2) in Europe. It shows rapid erosion in loess soil. Because of unearth roots, this ravine is named Korzeniowy Dol (Root-Hole). http://imaggeo.egu.eu/view/1353/ Geographic location 21.9803 E, 51.3207 N Go back

A clear view for the first time Exceptional sea-ice breakup in early 2019 enabled the team on the RV Nathaniel B Palmer to survey more than 2000 square kilometres of sea floor at the glacier’s ice front. The area surveyed had previously been hidden beneath part of the floating ice shelf extending from Thwaites Glacier, which broke off in 2002, and in most subsequent years the area was inaccessible due to thick sea-ice cover.
