Accelerated global glacier mass loss in the early twenty-first century
Glaciers distinct from the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets are shrinking rapidly, altering
regional hydrology, raising global sea level and elevating natural hazards. Yet, owing to the …

Low elevation of Svalbard glaciers drives high mass loss variability
Compared to other Arctic ice masses, Svalbard glaciers are low-elevated with flat interior
accumulation areas, resulting in a marked peak in their current hypsometry (area-elevation …

The unquantified mass loss of Northern Hemisphere marine-terminating glaciers from 2000–2020
Abstract In the Northern Hemisphere,~ 1500 glaciers, accounting for 28% of glacierized area
outside the Greenland Ice Sheet, terminate in the ocean. Glacier mass loss at their ice …
