Glacier Mapping

Five glacier maps at scales of 1:5 000 and 1:10 000 were produced by the Photogrammetric Research Section of the National Research Council and the Axel Heiberg Island Expedition of McGill University for use in glaciological research in the Canadian Arctic. After general comments on the need for and scope of glacier mapping, the authors discuss in some detail the main problems encountered. It is maintained that glacier maps belong to the class of 'special maps' and that the specifications for them should be set by the glaciologists.Accuracy requirements, choice of mapping scale and contour interval, delineation of various glacier units, extent of detail plotting, etc. are critically reviewed, The 1:10 000 map of the entire White Glacier catchment area, accompanying this paper, is an example of a map which serves various glaciological purposes, primarily calculations of mass change. To facilitate future glacier mapping, the authors suggest that clear definitions of glaciological terms such as 'active glacier' or 'glacierized area' should be established and that their cartographical presentation should he further standardized.

Professor John Stanley of McGill University recently asked the National Research Council for assistance in specifying the colors of flour beetles (Tribolium). These insem are small (3 or 4 mm. long), rounded, dark, and shiny, and therefore present a somewhat unusual colorimetric problem. It is felt that the solution of this problem may be of some general interest.The small size of the specimens seemed to preclude physical methods of colorimetry. It was felt that the most likely visual method would be direct comparison with Munsell papers or other standard colored surfaces. The difficulty with this was the very different appearance of the smooth, flat paper and the shiny. rounded beetle.
