Map of Nördliches Bockkar Kees 1979

A new map of Nördliche Bockkarkees (Glocknergroup, Hohe Tauern, Eastern Alps) has been produced in a scale of I : 10000. As a basis an aerophotogrammetric survey on September 18, 1979 was used. The original photogrammetric stereoplotting was in ascale of I : 5000. The map is printed in four coloures with 10m contourlines. Rapid motion of the glacier tongue and ice avalanches up to several million cubic meters occure on Nördliches Bockkarkees frequently. The position of the glacier is shown three weeks before a glacier avalanche broke off the tongue on October 5./6., 1979. The large-scale map represents a contribution to the investigation of the recurrent ice avalanches at this glacier and is one of the necessary preconditions for further research.

Mass balance of Stubacher Sonnblickkees, Hohe Tauern Range, Eastern Alps, Austria

Results of the direct, glaciological determination of the mass budget of Stubacher Sonnblick kees in the Hohe Tauern group are summarized for the years 1971/72 through 1977/78. Tabulation of budget quantities, accumulation and ablation areas and distribution of budget terms for 50 m altitude intervals is supplemented by comments on observations and field work.
