Welcome to the homepage of the Glacier and Ice Sheet Research Group,
Institute of Low Temperature Science, Hokkaido University.
We conduct research on glaciers and ice sheets, mainly in Antarctica,
Greenland, Patagonia and the Himalayas. Our methods comprise
numerical modelling, remote sensing, photogrammetry, field observations
and ice-core drilling and analysis.

This marine-terminating glacier experiences rapid changes at its ice front, outpacing the updates on Google Map.
