Digital elevation models (DEMs) of the whole of Antarctica have been derived, previously,
from satellite radar altimetry (SRA) and limited terrestrial data. Near the ice sheet margins …

A high-resolution GCM is found to simulate precipitation and surface energy balance of high
latitudes with high accuracy. This opens new possibilities to investigate the future mass …

Ice losses from the Greenland and Antarctic Ice Sheets have accelerated since the 1990s,
accounting for a significant increase in global mean sea level. Here, we present a new 29 …

Mass Balance of the Cryosphere provides a detailed and comprehensive overview of our
understanding of the mass balance of the glaciers, ice caps and ice sheets of Antarctica and …

Ice sheet mass balance estimates have improved substantially in recent years using a
variety of techniques, over different time periods, and at various levels of spatial detail …

Measurements from the Geoscience Laser Altimeter System (GLAS) aboard NASA's ICESat
satellite (2001 launch) will be used to estimate the secular change in Antarctic ice mass. We …

We present spatiotemporal mass balance trends for the Antarctic Ice Sheet from a statistical
inversion of satellite altimetry, gravimetry, and elastic‐corrected GPS data for the period …

Seasat and Geosat satellite altimeter measurements for the Greenland ice sheet (south of
72° N latitude) show that surface elevations above 2000 meters increased at an average …

The dynamics and mass balance regime of the Austfonna ice cap, the largest glacier on
Svalbard, deviates significantly from most other glaciers in the region and is not fully …

This paper describes the CryoSat satellite mission, due for launch in 2005, whose aim is to
accurately determine the trends in Earth's continental and marine ice fields. The paper's …
