Glaciometer

/ɡleɪʃiˈɑmɪtər/ noun

Definition

An instrument used to measure the rate of glacier movement or flow.

Etymology

From glacier plus -meter (from Greek metron, measure). This specialized scientific instrument was developed to quantify how fast glaciers move.

Kelly Says

A glaciometer revealed that some glaciers move over 100 feet per day—which sounds slow until you realize that's like your school building sliding downhill every day!
