Abstract Surface feature design is not well supported by contemporary free form surface modelers. For one type of surface feature, the displacement feature, it is shown that intuitive controls can be defined for its design. A method is described that, given a surface model, allows a designer to create and manipulate displacement features. The method uses numerically stable calculations, and feedback can be obtained within tenths of a second, allowing the designer to employ the different controls with unprecedented flexibility. The algorithm does not use refinement techniques, that generally lead to data explosion. The transition geometry, connecting a base surface to a displaced region, is found explicitly. Cross-boundary smoothness is dealt with automatically, leaving the designer to concentrate on the design, instead of having to deal with mathematical boundary conditions. Early test results indicate that interactive support is possible, thus making this a useful tool for conceptual shape design.

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.
