In this thesis, two new approaches are proposed for the inference of two distributed glaciological variables of difficult access: icethickness and accumulation distribution. A first method is proposed for inferring the icethickness distribution based on the principle of mass conservation and considerations on the iceflow mechanics. The method is applied to a set of glaciers in the Swiss Alps and the results are used to calibrate a volumearea scaling relation. A second approach is proposed for inferring the distribution of snow accumulation by combining timelapse photography and simple modeling. Although their simplicity, both methods perform surprisingly well when compared to direct measurements and show therefor the potential for a large number of applications.
