IAHS UNEP UNESCO PREFACE Following the recent Second IPCC Assessment, there has been an escalation in publicity concerning the potential impacts of climate variability and change on the environment. Particular attention has been given to the consequences of climate change on society, especially within the framework of socio-economies. A fundamental societal need is an abundant supply of high quality water. It is now acknowledged within international circles that ‘water’ will be the critical issue of the 21st century, due to various socio- economic pressures arising from the global increase in population. The prospect of climate variability and change will only enhance further pressures on the diminishing, potable water resources. Thus it is critical to water resources management to have the necessary instruments for predicting and detecting climate change. Monitoring of the changes in glacier mass balances provides a very sensitive detector of natural and anthropogenic-induced climate variability which complement predictions from General Circulation Models (GCMs). Should significant climate change take place in the long term, the resulting glacier fluctuations will have major impacts both on river regimes downstream and on water resources management. Such aspects are of particular relevance to the continued implementation of the Fifth Phase of UNESCO’s Interna- tional Hydrological Programme. Consequently, the publication of Volume VII, 1990–1995, within the Fluctuation of Glaciers series is a timely contribution to the climate change issue. Furthermore this work complements the recent publication of the UNESCO Studies & Reports in Hydrology Series no. 57, entitled Into the 2nd Century of World Glacier Monitoring: Prospects and Strategies, and the earlier release of Glacier Mass Balance Bulletin No. 4 (1994–1995). All these publications have been in co-ordi- nation with the International Commission on Snow and Ice (ICSI) which assists the IHP-V with the implementation of project 1.3, “Hydrological interpretation of global change predictions”. The present Fluctuation of Glaciers volume is also a significant contribution towards The Second International Conference on Climate and Water, Espoo, Finland, August 1998. There are several important messages to the climate change communit found in this vol- ume. Foremost is that mass balances from 33 glaciers reflects continued glacier melting at an accelerated rate. The mean specific net balance (-287 mm) of the corresponding ref- erence glaciers for the five years 1990/91–1994/95 corresponds to an additional energy flux (2–3 Wm-2). It is considered that this flux corresponds to the estimated an- thropogenic greenhouse forcing and is slightly higher than the decadal mean of 1980–1990 (-277 mm). These means are, however, strongly influenced by the bias in geo- graphic-weighting towards Alpine and Scandinavian glaciers within the basic network. In that regard, it is appropriate to highlight the recent ICSI initiative in organizing a sym- posium on Glaciers in the Southern Hemisphere, Melbourne, July 1997, and a corre- sponding monograph which will be published shortly. Especially pertinent, the contents of the present book also remind us that natural climate variability is also capable of producing dramatic changes when concerning the European alpine glaciers, there was a near 50% reduction in total glacier volume from 1850 to the mid-1970s. Most of this change took place during the second half of the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century during times of relatively weak anthropogenic forcing. Filtering the effects of I natural climate variability from those attributed to anthropogenic influences poses one of the principal challenges to the global change scientific community. The World Glacier Monitoring Service is once again to be congratulated for continuing its efforts in producing this seventh volume in the Fluctuation of Glaciers series under the guidance and persistent efforts of Wilfried Haeberli and his collaborators. M. Bonell Chief, Section on Hydrological Processes & Climate International Hydrological Programme, UNESCO II FOREWORD Volume VII of the series of publications on the Fluctuations of Glaciers prepared by the World Glacier Monitoring Service covers a period of unprecedented interest in the mass balance of glaciers. As the general public wake up to the possibility of significant anthropogenic climate change within decades, they have realized that small glaciers are sensitive indicators of present climatic trends. The wasting away of the local glacier brings home the impact of climate warming to many non-scientists in a very vivid way. They want to know more – as do the world leaders who have to make difficult decisions balancing economic and environmental considerations . The information gathered for this publication allows scientists to give a balanced report of the health of glaciers world-wide. Those we know about are melting at an accelerating rate (except in parts of Scandinavia) and their meltwater makes an ever-greater contribu- tion to sea-level rise. However, there are many parts of the world where far too few gla- ciers are monitored. Over the last five years glaciologists have developed improved meth- ods of deducing the mass balance of unmeasured glaciers, often using data provided by the WGMS to test and improve their modelling techniques. In this way the predictions of the effects of climate change on glaciers world-wide are improved. The WGMS is to be congratulated on the production of this volume, which makes data from all over the world available to the glaciological community. The printed maps and tables complement data held in electronic form which, we must remember, is not always easily accessible for some researchers. Above all the efforts of the WGMS to ensure that valuable data are collected centrally has a stimulating effect on the community and en- courages the field scientist to continue with the important, but sometimes lonely task of collecting glacier fluctuation data. The work of the WGMS continues the long tradition of glacier monitoring which began in 1894. It is supported enthusiastically by ICSI (The International Commission on Snow and Ice) and we congratulate Professor Haeberli on bringing another volume in the valu- able Fluctuations of Glaciers series to publication. M. Kuhn E. M. Morris President, ICSI 1991–1995 President, ICSI 1995–2001 III IV PRELIMINARY REMARKS AND THANKS The present Volume VII of the “Fluctuations of Glaciers” mainly concerns the time peri- od from 1990 to 1995. It was prepared by the World Glacier Monitoring Service (WGMS) and continues the corresponding series of publications which contain internationally collected, standardized data on current changes in glaciers throughout the world, i.e.: Vol. I : Fluctuations of Glaciers 1959–1965 (P. Kasser) Vol. II : Fluctuations of Glaciers 1965–1970 (P. Kasser) Vol. III : Fluctuations of Glaciers 1970–1975 (F. Müller) Vol. IV

Thomson <[email protected]> ABSTRACT. This study presents the first reanalysis of a long-term glacier mass-balance record in the Canadian Arctic. The reanalysis is accomplished through comparison of the 1960–2014 glaciological mass-balance record of White Glacier, Axel Heiberg Island, Nunavut, with a geodetically derived mass change over the same period. The corrections applied to homogenize the two datasets, including adjusting for changes in hypsometry over the period of record and the generic differences between methods, are discussed along with the associated systematic and random errors of the two forms of mass-balance measurement. Statistical comparison of the two datasets reveals that within the error margin there is no significant difference between the average annual glaciological balance (–213 ± 28 − − mm w.e. a 1) and geodetic balance (–178 ± 16 mm w.e.

This new edition has changed in look and organization while maintaining its original, well received characteristics. The availability of substantial new material and the desire to integrate the inevitable corrections, some purely editorial, others (thankfully few) in- volving clarifications and modifications to the route descriptions, led to the decision not to run a simple reprint. Bearing in mind that many “old” readers only recently purchased the first edition, it was decided to sub-divide the new edition into two volu- mes, “Western Dolomites (Volume 1)” and “Western Do- lomites (Volume 2)”, the first being a corrected reprint of the previous edition, and this second volume including all the new descriptions which, thanks also to the help of our generous collaborators, had been collected in the period from publication of the first edition (2009) to the present. This First edition: July 2011 means that our established “mid-grade” readers can acquire all the ISBN: 978-88-97299-08-0 new material without having to buy both books.

  • Half a Century of Measurements of Glaciers on Axel Heiberg Island, Nunavut, Canada J.G
    ARCTIC VOL. 64, NO. 3 (SEPTEMBER 2011) P. 371 – 375 Half a Century of Measurements of Glaciers on Axel Heiberg Island, Nunavut, Canada J.G. COGLEY,1,2 W.P. ADAMS1 and M.A. ECCLESTONE1 (Received 17 November 2010; accepted in revised form 27 February 2011) ABSTRACT. We illustrate the value of longevity in high-latitude glaciological measurement series with results from a programme of research in the Expedition Fiord area of western Axel Heiberg Island that began in 1959. Diverse investi- gations in the decades that followed have focused on subjects such as glacier zonation, the thermal regime of the polythermal White Glacier, and the contrast in evolution of White Glacier (retreating) and the adjacent Thompson Glacier (advancing until recently). Mass-balance monitoring, initiated in 1959, continues to 2011. Measurement series such as these provide invaluable context for understanding climatic change at high northern latitudes, where in-situ information is sparse and lacks historical depth, and where warming is projected to be most pronounced. Key words: glacier mass balance, glacier changes, Axel Heiberg Island RÉSUMÉ. Nous illustrons la valeur de la longévité en ce qui a trait à une série de mesures glaciologiques en haute latitude au moyen des résultats découlant d’un programme de recherche effectué dans la région du fjord Expédition du côté ouest de l’île Axel Heiberg, programme qui a été entrepris en 1959.
