Glaciological investigations have been carried out in areas proposed for local hydro-power stations in Greenland, A mapping programme was set up, to provide data for mass balance and simulation of run-off, as well as glacier dynamics.Two types of glacier map have been produced, covering the margin of the Inland Ice: detailed photogrammetric maps, based on plotting from vertical aerial photographs and a new type of surface feature map, based on digitally-processed Landsat data. The photogrammetric maps, plotted on a scale of 1:25 000, include surface topography and surface features, such as crevasses, lakes, moraines etc. The surface feature maps, plotted on a scale of 1:100 000, show surface features related to ice and melt-water drainage, as well as subtle, topographic features, related to the subglacial topography.The maps have so far been used for preliminary delineation of drainage areas on the Inland Ice and for planning tracks of radio echo-soundings.
Object correspondence across brief occlusion is established on the basis of both spatiotemporal and surface feature cues
