Since 1972, the Landsat program has been continually monitoring the Earth, to now provide
50 years of digital, multispectral, medium spatial resolution observations. Over this time …

Surface melt is an important driver of ice shelf disintegration and its consequent mass loss
over the Antarctic Ice Sheet. Monitoring surface melt using satellite remote sensing can …

The disintegration of the ice shelves along the Antarctic Peninsula have spurred much
discussion on the various processes leading to their eventual dramatic collapse, but without …

It has been argued that the− 5° C annual mean 2 m air temperature isotherm defines a limit
of ice shelf viability on the Antarctic Peninsula as melt ponding increases at higher …

Surface melting occurs across many of Antarctica's ice shelves, mainly during the austral
summer. The onset, duration, area and fate of surface melting varies spatially and …

Glacial lakes pose a serious threat to downstream areas and significantly impact glacier
melt. The number and area of lakes has grown in most regions during the last decades due …

Antarctica is currently losing net mass to the ocean primarily from West Antarctica and the
Antarctic Peninsula, which together hold~ 5.5 m of sea level rise potential. Yet, the East …

Supraglacial meltwater accumulation on ice sheets can be a main driver for accelerated ice
discharge, mass loss, and global sea-level-rise. With further increasing surface air …

In the 2019/2020 austral summer, the surface melt duration and extent on the northern
George VI Ice Shelf (GVIIS) was exceptional compared to the 31 previous summers of …

Surface melting occurs during summer on the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets, but the
volume of stored surface meltwater has been difficult to quantify due to a lack of accurate …
