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 …

Glaciers distinct from the Greenland and Antarctic Ice Sheets are losing large amounts of
water to the world’s oceans. However, estimates of their contribution to sea level rise disagree. …

The Randolph Glacier Inventory (RGI) is a globally complete collection of digital outlines of
glaciers, excluding the ice sheets, developed to meet the needs of the Fifth Assessment of the …

Ice discharge from large ice sheets plays a direct role in determining rates of sea-level rise.
We map present-day Antarctic-wide surface velocities using Landsat 7 and 8 imagery …

Populations in Central Asia are heavily dependent on snow and glacier melt for their water
supplies. Changes to the glaciers in the main mountain range in this region, the Tien Shan, …

Mountain glaciers and ice caps are contributing significantly to present rates of sea level rise
and will continue to do so over the next century and beyond 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 . The Canadian …

Traditional methods of deriving temporal variability of Antarctic ice‐shelf elevation from satellite
altimetry use a fixed (“Eulerian”) reference frame, where the measured changes include …

Glaciers and their changes through time are increasingly obtained from a wide range of
satellite sensors. Due to the often remote location of glaciers in inaccessible and high-mountain …

Glacier-wide mass balance has been measured for more than sixty years and is widely used
as an indicator of climate change and to assess the glacier contribution to runoff and sea …

We present a multi-temporal digital inventory of Svalbard glaciers with the most recent from
the late 2000s containing 33 775 km 2 of glaciers covering 57% of the total land area of the …
