Lidar Altimeter Mapping of A Supraglacial Lake Region Via An Unmanned Aircraft System (uas) Near Ilulissat, Greenland

Abstract

The Lidar Altimeter elevation profiles from the Arctic MUSCOX (MUltiSensor Cryospheric Observation eXperiment) project are presented and compared against other techniques for digital elevation mapping of the supraglacial melt lake region in the vicinity of the Jacobshavn Glacier. The hypsography of the sampled region will be discussed, and an estimated volume of a recently drained supraglacial lake will be made. Additionally, a first look at some of the hyperspectral imagery collected over a supraglacial lake will be shown.
