Abstract

Abstract

Ice bedrock topographic map and ice volume estimation play very important parts in glacier melt water research. Muz Taw glacier in Sawir Mountains was explored in this study by means of Landsat remote sensing image, digital elevation model data, ground penetrating radar (GPR) data and GPS positioning data. Its terminus thickness distribution was obtained by analysis and simulation of thickness distribution of its transverse and vertical sections, combined with a variety of interpolation methods, on basis of which the ice volume was estimated. Results show obvious differences between the two transverse profiles. Cross-section B1-B2 has typical "U"-type terrain, with maximum glacier thickness of up to 116.4 m; cross-section C1-C2 is relatively flat, and glacier thickness distribution is more uniform, with an average of about 70-90 m. In longitudinal profile, A1-A2 forms a ladder-like distribution, with an obvious depression in the middle of the ice bed topography. The average ice thickness in longitudinal profile is about 80.89 m, with maximum ice thickness of 122.67 m. The ice bed topographic map is in sharp contrast with the thickness contour map of the glacier. In addition, there is obvious cirque terrain at an altitude of 3 240 m and 3 280 m. The preliminary estimation of the average thickness and total terminus ice volume are approximately 60.5 m and 0.195 km³, respectively. It is concluded that GPR method has higher accuracy compared with the traditional ice volume estimation method, but it has restrictions because of measurement difficulties
