Mass balance of the Devon (NW), Meighen, and South Melville ice caps, Queen Elizabeth Islands for the 2012-2013 balance year / [by] D.O. Burgess. : M183-2/7692E-PDF
In-situ glacier mass balance surveys were conducted across the Devon, Meighen, and South Melville ice caps in the Canadian high Arctic by Natural Resources Canada during spring, 2014. Survey results indicate positive net balance values for the Devon (NW) and Meighen ice caps (+2 and +17 cm w.e. respectively), while the South Melville ice cap experienced slightly negative mass balance (-18 cm w.e.). Results from these glacier surveys are indicative of relatively cool conditions that prevailed across this region during the summer of 2013. Associated water equivalent volume change for the Devon (NW), Meighen, and South Melville ice caps in 2012-2013 was 0.04, 0.01, and -0.009 Gt respectively resulted in a net negative contribution to global sea-level rise from these 3 sites for the 2012-2013 balance year.
