SUMMARY:Integrating Photogrammetry and Computer Vision into the study of G
 lacier Change - Dr Penny How\, University of York

DESCRIPTION:Retreating glaciers and ice sheets provide a significant con
 tribution to sea level rise\, which will affect future populations and th
 eir activities. Accurate sea level projections are needed in order to bes
 t inform policy makers\, but these projections are limited by our current
  understanding of the dynamics and processes that control ice loss. Tec
 hniques in Photogrammetry and Computer Vision are growing as a viable app
 roach for obtaining highly detailed records of glacier change\, and are p
 resented here to demonstrate its future potential in the field of Glaciolo
 gy. This includes its uses in deriving glacier velocities\, identifying su
 praglacial lake drainage events\, monitoring meltwater outflow\, and exami
 ning calving dynamics at marine-terminating glaciers. From this\, we will 
 introduce our new project using historical photographs to analyse glacier 
 change in the pre-satellite era\, in collaboration with the Scott Polar Re
 search Institute. \n
