Even if anthropogenic warming were constrained to less than 2° C above pre-industrial, the
Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets will continue to lose mass this century, with rates similar …

The evolution of ocean temperature measurement systems is presented with a focus on the
development and accuracy of two critical devices in use today (expendable …

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 …

We assess the recent contribution of the Greenland ice sheet (GrIS) to sea level change. We
use the mass budget method, which quantifies ice sheet mass balance (MB) as the …

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

Extensive ice thickness surveys by NASA's Operation IceBridge enable over a decade of ice
discharge measurements at high precision for the majority of Greenland's marine …

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 …

Abstract We use Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) monthly gravity fields
to determine the regional acceleration in ice mass loss in Greenland and Antarctica for 2003 …

Mass loss from the Greenland ice sheet quadrupled over the past two decades, contributing
a quarter of the observed global sea-level rise. Increased submarine melting is thought to …

We report on the maturation of optical satellite-image-based ice velocity mapping over the
ice sheets and large glacierized areas, enabled by the high radiometric resolution and …
