Greater than the sum of its parts: optical remote sensing and sediment core data provide a holistic perspective on glacial processes
In this letter we make the case that closer integration of sediment core and passive optical remote sensing data would provide new insights into past and contemporary glacio-sedimentary processes. Sediment cores are frequently used to study past glacial processes and environments as they contain a lengthy geochemical and sedimentological record of changing conditions. In contrast, optical remote sensing imagery is used extensively to examine contemporary glacial processes, including meltwater dynamics, glacial retreat, calving, and ice accumulation. While paleoenvironmental data from sediment cores and optical remote sensing imagery are rarely used in tandem, they are complementary. Sediment core records are spatially discrete, providing long-term paleoenvironmental proxy data which require assumptions about environment-sediment linkages. Optical imagery offers precise, spatially extensive data to visualize contemporary processes often limited in their temporal extent. We suggest that methodologies which integrate optical remotely sensing with sediment core data allow direct observation of processes interpolated from sedimentological analysis and achieve a more holistic perspective on glacial processes. This integration addresses the limitations of both data sources and can achieve a stronger understanding of glacier dynamics by expanding the spatiotemporal extent of data, reducing the uncertainty of interpretations, and broadening the local analyses to regional and global scales.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Glaciology publishes original scientific articles and letters in any aspect of glaciology- the study of ice. Studies of natural, artificial, and extraterrestrial ice and snow, as well as interactions between ice, snow and the atmospheric, oceanic and subglacial environment are all eligible. They may be based on field work, remote sensing, laboratory investigations, theoretical analysis or numerical modelling, or may report on newly developed glaciological instruments. Subjects covered recently in the Journal have included palaeoclimatology and the chemistry of the atmosphere as revealed in ice cores; theoretical and applied physics and chemistry of ice; the dynamics of glaciers and ice sheets, and changes in their extent and mass under climatic forcing; glacier energy balances at all scales; glacial landforms, and glaciers as geomorphic agents; snow science in all its aspects; ice as a host for surface and subglacial ecosystems; sea ice, icebergs and lake ice; and avalanche dynamics and other glacial hazards to human activity. Studies of permafrost and of ice in the Earth’s atmosphere are also within the domain of the Journal, as are interdisciplinary applications to engineering, biological, and social sciences, and studies in the history of glaciology.
