Relevés de fluctuations sur quelques glaciers des Alpes Françaises
Fluctuation surveying on some glaciers in the French Alps
Laboratoire de Glaciologie et Géophysique de l'Environnement, CNRS, Grenoble
Abstract
Glacial fluctuation measurements by the Laboratoire de Glaciologie du CNRS (LGGE) are yearly made on some ten glaciers of the French Alps. The aim is to obtain a data base on mass balances and glacial dynamics parameters (lengths, altitudes and velocities). Thanks to ancient measurements of the Eaux et Forêts and to modern surveys, we have at our disposal some series to test physical models of the glacier variations.
