Abstract

V originále

Antarctic Peninsula was one of the most rapidly warming parts of our planet during the last haft of the century. We selected two different types of glaciers for this study. The first meteorological and glaciological observations started on Davies Dome in January 2006. In the austral season of 2009, two automatic weather stations were installed on both glaciers. Annual mass balance method based on the measurements of ablation stake heights, snow density and stratigraphy were applied on the glaciers. The first results show changes in ablation along the transect over the Davies Dome, with the average ablation in order to 20 cm between the years 2006 and 2009.
