The Norwegian Arctic archipelago of Svalbard is located in the most rapidly warming area of
the Arctic, at the interface of Arctic and Atlantic air and ocean masses. The presence of a …

A decade-long pronounced increase in temperatures in the Arctic, especially in the Barents
Sea region, resulted in a global warming hotspot over Svalbard. Associated changes in the …

The glaciers in Arctic Archipelago of Svalbard, located in the hotspot of global warming, are
sensitive to climate change. The assessment of glacier mass balance in Svalbard is one of …

We have tested three methods for estimating 2003–2008 elevation changes of Svalbard
glaciers from multi-temporal ICESat laser altimetry:(a) linear interpolation of crossover points …

Determining whether increasing temperature or precipitation will dominate the cryospheric
response to climate change is key to forecasting future sea-level rise. The volume of ice …

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 …

Changes in the volume and extent of land ice of the Svalbard archipelago have been the
subject of considerable research since their sensitivity to changes in climate was first noted …

We compare satellite altimetry from the Ice, Cloud, and Land Elevation Satellite (ICESat,
2003–2007) to older topographic maps and digital elevation models (1965–1990) to …

Svalbard is a heavily glacier-covered archipelago in the Arctic. Dickson Land (DL), in the
central part of the largest island, Spitsbergen, is relatively arid and, as a result, glaciers there …

Estimating the long-term mass balance of the high-Arctic Svalbard archipelago is difficult
due to the incomplete geodetic and direct glaciological measurements, both in space and …
