Thickness and Volume of Glaciers in the Mongun-Taiga Massif (Altai) in 2021 Based on Ground Penetrating Radar and Modeling Data

Glacier boundaries in the Mongun-Taiga massif were determined using hydrological and morphological approaches, and a reduction in glaciated area was determined for 2010–2021. The GlabTop2 model for flat-top glaciers was calibrated using ground-penetrating radar data. A range of ice volume values for the entire massif was obtained using the GlabTop2 model, using power-law relationships for morphological and hydrological approaches to glacier boundary delineation. The contribution of different glacier types to the structure of ice reserves was assessed.

Abstract

Glacier boundaries in the Mongun-Taiga massif were determined using hydrological and morphological approaches, and a reduction in glaciated area was determined for 2010–2021. The GlabTop2 model for flat-top glaciers was calibrated using ground-penetrating radar data. A range of ice volume values for the entire massif was obtained using the GlabTop2 model, using power-law relationships for morphological and hydrological approaches to glacier boundary delineation. The contribution of different glacier types to the structure of ice reserves was assessed.
