The precise positioning and long-term monitoring of the grounding line, forming the
boundary between grounded and floating ice of marine ice sheets and tidewater glaciers, is …

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 …

This work provides an overview of various methods for estimating snow cover and properties
in high mountains using remote sensing techniques involving microwaves. Satellite-based …

The resilience of the Antarctic Ice Sheet and its effect on global sea level depends on the
dynamics of ice streams. Antarctic ice streams are known to be responsive to changes at the …

Various glaciological topics require observations of horizontal velocities over vast areas, eg,
detecting acceleration of glaciers, as well as for estimating basal parameters of ice sheets …

A combination of remote sensing and in-situ data collection techniques were used to
characterise the surface dynamics, as well as the seasonal and long-term melt patterns of …

Glacier and ice sheet dynamics are currently mapped with X-, C-, and L-band SAR. With the
prospect of a P-band SAR, Biomass, to be launched within the next decade it is interesting to …

We analyzed ice velocities and surface elevations of the Recovery Glacier system in
Antarctica derived from TerraSAR-X and TanDEM-X data. Our high resolution TerraSAR-X …

An incoherent correlation approach is used to derive ice motion fields for outlet glaciers
through the Transantarctic Mountains, Antarctica. High-resolution repeat-pass, left-looking …

Global warming led to an increase of the global mean surface air temperature of~ 1.0° C
from pre-industrial times to now. This strongly affects all components of the Earth's system …
