Luthcke and colleagues found a way to remotely measure the "mass balance" of a glacier; that is, the net annual difference between ice accumulation and ice loss.

A glacier is a large, slow-moving river of ice, formed from compacted layers of snow, that slowly deforms and flows in response to gravity and high pressure. The processes and landforms caused by glaciers and related to them are glacial (adjective); this term should not be confounded with glacial...

Glacier ice accumulation occurs through accumulation of snow and other frozen precipitation, as well as through other means including rime ice (freezing of water vapor on the glacier surface), avalanching from on cliffs and mountainsides above, and re-freezing of glacier meltwater as . Accumulation is one element in the...

Physical glaciology studies have been done on these three mountains in Mexico (size of glaciers, movement of ice, accumulation vs. ablation zones, so on), but very little chemical and isotopic glaciology have been done in these Mexican glaciers.

(87 KB illustration) Glaciers form where more snow falls than melts. A glacier's accumulation area, located at higher elevations, accrues a wealth of snow and ice.
