Abstract The northern Antarctic Peninsula is currently undergoing rapid atmospheric
warming. Increased glacier-surface melt during the twentieth century, has contributed to ice …

A firn densification model (FDM) is used to assess spatial and temporal (1979–2200)
variations in the depth, density and temperature of the firn layer covering the Antarctic ice …

Interannual variability in the ice mass balance over the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) is closely
related to atmospheric circulation and has large impact on estimating the secular trends of …

Satellite gravimetry data acquired by the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment
(GRACE) allows to derive the temporal evolution in ice mass for both the Antarctic Ice Sheet …

This study examines present-day changes of the Antarctic ice sheet (AIS) by means of
different data sets. We make use of monthly gravity field solutions acquired by the Gravity …

Global and regional climate models robustly simulate increases in Antarctic surface mass
balance (SMB) during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries in response to anthropogenic …

Assessment of the long term mass balance of the Antarctic Ice Sheet, and thus the
determination of its contribution to sea level rise, requires an understanding of interannual …

The visco-elastic response of the solid Earth to the past glacial cycles and the present-day
surface mass change (PDSMC) are detected by the geodetic observation systems such as …

Elevation changes of the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) related to surface mass balance (SMB)
and firn processes vary strongly in space and time. Their short-term natural variability is …

One way to estimate the mass balance of an ice sheet is to convert satellite observed
surface elevation changes into mass changes. In order to do so, elevation and mass …
