Glaciers distinct from the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets are currently losing mass
rapidly with direct and severe impacts on the habitability of some regions on Earth as glacier …

Over the past quarter of a century the Arctic has warmed more than any other region on
Earth, causing a profound impact on the Greenland ice sheet (GrIS) and its contribution to …

Abstract The Greenland Ice Sheet has been a major contributor to global sea-level rise in
recent decades,, and it is expected to continue to be so. Although increases in glacier flow …

Abstract The Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite (ICESat) mission used laser altimetry
measurements to determine changes in elevations of glaciers and ice sheets, as well as sea …

Since 1992, there has been a revolution in our ability to quantify the land ice contribution to
sea level rise using a variety of satellite missions and technologies. Each mission has …

An extreme (weather or climate) event is generally defined as the occurrence of a value of a
weather or climate variable above (or below) a threshold value near the upper (or lower) …

We combined an ensemble of satellite altimetry, interferometry, and gravimetry data sets
using common geographical regions, time intervals, and models of surface mass balance …

The geodetic method is widely used for assessing changes in the mass balance of mountain
glaciers. However, comparison of repeated digital elevation models only provides a glacier …

Abstract Fluctuations in Antarctic Ice Sheet elevation and mass occur over a variety of time
scales, owing to changes in snowfall and ice flow. Here we disentangle these signals by …

This study focuses on the present-day surface elevation of the Greenland and Antarctic ice
sheets. Based on 3 years of CryoSat-2 data acquisition we derived new elevation models …
