Description :
An approach for obtaining reflectance factors and surface albedo on a glaciated surface in a high relief environment combining a digital elevation model and SPOT HRV satellite data is presented. The methodology has been applied on the Mitdluagkat Glacier. Correction of reflectance factors with respect to solar incidence angle permits classification of different glacial metamorphic facies favourably compared with published data on field measurement from other glaciated regions.
