520 |a"The Canadian high Arctic holds the single largest mass of ice outside of the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets. Knowledge of annual glacier mass balance (ie. the difference between input[snow] and output[melt] for any given year) in this region thus provides a robust indicator of climate change, and facilitates assessments of contributions to global sea-level from Canadian glaciers and ice caps. This report presents a summary of results from the 2015 glacier mass balance surveys which represents the 2013-2014 mass balance year over the Devon, Melville South, and Meighen ice caps. Overall, glacier mass balance in the Queen Elizabeth Islands for 2013-2014 indicated a slightly negative mass balance reflecting relatively cool conditions that prevailed across this region during the summer of 2013 relative to the post-2005 period"--Summary provided by publisher.
