48 Years of Alaska's Glaciers

The video tutorial explores the changing ice cover and the advancements in observational glaciology through remote sensing. It highlights the creation of a historical record of glacier speeds and changes, allowing for the observation of glacier movements and their environmental impacts. The tutorial delves into glacier dynamics and behavior, using video analysis to understand these processes. Additionally, it discusses the compilation of Landsat records to study long-term ice trends in Alaska and the Yukon, providing insights into the rapidly changing parts of our planet.
