surface volume of the glacier

Optimizing grid spacing for DEM construction in determining the surface volume of the Antarctic coast island glaciers

Aim. Glaciological, geodetic and photogrammetric methods can be distinguished between methods of obtaining data for observations of glaciers. Photogrammetric method refers to the remote sensing methods, so its application for the study of these objects is definitely more reasonable. This is primarily conditioned by the fact that there is no need to work on the body of the glacier, which is very dangerous. In addition, the accuracy of the glaciers volume is satisfies of the glaciologist requirements by this method.
