Abstract
Enhancement and classification of digital Landsat data has been carried out for two Canadian glaciers. The objective of the study was to determine the role that such data might play in preparing glacier inventories, It was difficult to measure accurately areas of glaciers and to map moraine-covered ice directly from information derived from digitally classified data. Digital enhancements, however, provide considerable, interpretive detail. Although Landsat imagery is not a substitute for aerial photographs in compiling glacier inventories, grey-tone prints can be used to identify changes rapidly and to provide a base map for recording information.
