Glaciological investigations of the Upper Fremont Glacier in the Wind River Range of Wyoming were conducted during 1990-1991. The glaciological data will provide baseline information for monitoring future changes to the glacier and support ongoing
research utilizing glacial-ice-core composition to reconstruct paleoenvironmental records. The results of glaciological and meteorological investigations are presented and discussed in this paper.
The purpose of this paper is to report on glaciological investigations carried out at a single glacier in this region, the Rae Glacier. In 1990 and 1991 field research was completed to describe the physical glaciology of Rae Glacier
and to characterize historical glaciological trends at the site. The glacier has a lag time of 5 to 10 years, which confirms that it is sensitive to climatic fluctuations and responds to changes in mass balance within a very short time. This observation is supported
Variations of italian glaciers between 1980 and 1999 inferred by the data supplied by the Italian Glaciological Committee
The study synthesises the analysis of those data relevant to the variation registred in the Italian glaciers during glaciological surveys carried out by the Italian Glaciological Committee between 1980 and 1999. The last twenty years of the 20th

Le World Data Center-A for Glaciology, Snow and Ice est l'un des trois centres de données du monde en glaciologie. Associé au National Snow and Ice Data Center, il archive les données publiées ou non, sur la neige et la glace. - (L'A.).
This progress report is the first of 3 overviews of important fields of study within contemporary glaciology, highlighting key developments in each field since 2005. The topics covered in this paper are : (1) the mass balance of glaciers and ice

extended to three-dimensional volume estimation and dynamic monitoring using radar imagery and GPS. The emergence of new satellite images will make remote sensing of glaciology more predictive and global.
by the glaciological reconstruction and homogeneous parameterization of the 1850 glacier situation in the Swiss Alps (the last advance period of the Little Ice Age). The statistical comparison with the present-day glaciation (recorded in 1973) provides for the first
time a complete synopsis of various glaciological and geographical aspects of longterm glacier retreat in the period since 1850. Attempts were made, based on the new inventory data, to model potential ice decay scenarios for the swiss Alps
and to estimate the glaciological consequences of an enhanced atmospheric warming. - (NF)
This paper describes glaciological features observed on the surface of the large outlet glacier Kuannersuit Glacier on Disko Island, during its initial quiescent phase after a major surge event occurred in 1995-98 in order to classify
The A. starts with the question of deforming beds. The recognition that subglacial till deformation can contribute to glacier characteristics has been one of the key conceptual developments of the last decade in glaciology. Many of the issues

This paper summarizes the methods applied to determine the mass balance of Hintereisferner and several other glaciers in the Tyrolean Alps since 1952. On an annual basis the direct glaciological method was applied with fixed date measurements on 10
-15 accumulation pits and 30-90 ablation stakes on 9 km2. The geodetic method has been applied for longer periods and yields results consistent with those of the glaciological method. The balance velocity calculated from recent ice thickness soundings
