Description

Richard W. Williams, Jr. (ed); Jane G. Ferrigno (ed); Charles G. Groat (fr). Landsat satellite images make possible comparative two-dimensional measurements of changes in our planet over time. This report includes full-color & black & white satellite photos of the glaciers of Bolivia, Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Chile & Argentina, including the Dry & Wet Andes & a section on Rock Glaciers. The photos are accompanied by essays by prominent scientists. Landsat images, together with aerial photos & maps, are used to produce glacier inventories, define glacier locations, support on-going field studies of glacier dynamics, & monitor the extensive glacier recession that has taken place & is continuing in many parts of South America.
