Abstract
He study of glacier mass balance is gaining significant interest worldwide against modern global climate change. Using Drone gave good results in glacier mass balance studies. There is a sizeable difference between the values obtained by the modern and previous used methods, which is primarily because of the shortcomings of the old one. We believe the results obtained cause the revision of the old data of the mass balance ablation component. Therefore, it became essential to restore the observation series and determine the compatibility of the data obtained by the old, traditional methods with the data obtained using new, modern technologies. The study aimed to compare the results obtained by standard ablation studies (ablation stake) and modern aerial photogrammetric methods based on actual observations in the Adishi glacier tongue.Keywords
