Abstract:

During the 2005 Arctic Yellow River Station Expedition, we start to monitor the movement and mass balance of two glaciers around Ny-lesund, Austre Lovénbreen and Pedersenbreen, which were selected in the 2004 Yellow River Station Expedition. This paper analyzes the possibility and advantage in using GPS method to monitor the Arctic glaciers’ movement, estimate the precision of first time measured GPS data and discuss the relevant problems using to survey on the Arctic Glaciers with GPS.
