The basal speed of valley glaciers: an inverse approach. Journal of Glaciology, 2004
(Ref: 11875)
Authors:
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature
Geophysical inverse methods are used to calculate the basal motion of a glacier. They are applied to a one-dimensional forward model that can be linearized to make the analysis simpler. The inverse method finds a solution that fits the data within a given error.
