LeConte Glacier time-lapse photos 2016-2017, Alaska

In 2016-2017 we conducted a field study at LeConte Glacier, Alaska,
to study the impacts of subglacial discharge on plume dynamics and submarine
melting. As part of that study, eight time-lapse cameras documented the
terminus and proglacial fjord of LeConte Glacier, Alaska in order to (i)
track iceberg motion, (ii) document changes in glacier terminus position
and calving activity, and (iii) estimate seasonal variations in glacier
velocities. The camera frame rates varied. Four cameras (UAS1-UAS3, UAS5) took
photos of the fjord every one to two minutes for ~10 hrs per day, depending
on the season. Three cameras took photos of the glacier every hour (UAS4
and Hunting1-Hunting2). An eighth camera (UAS6) took photos every 15 s during
three short field campaigns in 2017; the frame interval of cameras UAS1-UAS3
and UAS5 was also reduced to 15 s during the final field campaign.
