Abstract

This work combines the application of terrestrial laser scanner (TLS), ground-based interferometry radar(GB-SAR) and ground penetrating radar (GPR) to diagnose current conditions and to analyze the recentevolution of the Monte Perdido Glacier in the Spanish Pyrenees from 2011 to 2017. The evolution of theglacier surface was surveyed with a TLS, evidencing an important decline of 6,1 m, with areas losing morethan 10 m of ice thickness. GB-SAR revealed that areas with higher ice losses are those that are currentlywith no or very low ice motion. On the contrary, sectors located beneath the areas with less ice loss are thosethat still exhibit noticeable ice movement (maximum 4,5 cm per day). GPR informed that most of the glacierhas less than 30 m of ice thickness, although in some spots it can span between 30 and 50 m. Obtained information suggests a fast deterioration of the ice body that could lead to its total thaw in the next few decades.
