[HTML][HTML] Fifty years of Landsat science and impacts

MA Wulder, DP Roy, VC Radeloff, TR Loveland… - Remote Sensing of …, 2022 - Elsevier
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 …

Response of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet to past and future climate change

CR Stokes, NJ Abram, MJ Bentley, TL Edwards… - Nature, 2022 - nature.com
Abstract The East Antarctic Ice Sheet contains the vast majority of Earth's glacier ice (about
52 metres sea-level equivalent), but is often viewed as less vulnerable to global warming …

Antarctic calving loss rivals ice-shelf thinning

CA Greene, AS Gardner, NJ Schlegel, AD Fraser - Nature, 2022 - nature.com
Antarctica's ice shelves help to control the flow of glacial ice as it drains into the ocean,
meaning that the rate of global sea-level rise is subject to the structural integrity of these …

Polar regions

MP Meredith, M Sommerkorn… - The ocean and …, 2019 - research.monash.edu
This chapter assesses the state of physical, biological and social knowledge concerning the
Arctic and Antarctic ocean and cryosphere, how they are affected by climate change, and …

Pervasive ice sheet mass loss reflects competing ocean and atmosphere processes

B Smith, HA Fricker, AS Gardner, B Medley, J Nilsson… - Science, 2020 - science.org
Quantifying changes in Earth's ice sheets and identifying the climate drivers are central to
improving sea level projections. We provide unified estimates of grounded and floating ice …

Current status of Landsat program, science, and applications

MA Wulder, TR Loveland, DP Roy, CJ Crawford… - Remote sensing of …, 2019 - Elsevier
Formal planning and development of what became the first Landsat satellite commenced
over 50 years ago in 1967. Now, having collected earth observation data for well over four …

Four decades of Antarctic Ice Sheet mass balance from 1979–2017

E Rignot, J Mouginot, B Scheuchl… - Proceedings of the …, 2019 - pnas.org
We use updated drainage inventory, ice thickness, and ice velocity data to calculate the
grounding line ice discharge of 176 basins draining the Antarctic Ice Sheet from 1979 to …

Mass balance of the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets from 1992 to 2020

IN Otosaka, A Shepherd, ER Ivins… - Earth System …, 2022 - essd.copernicus.org
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 …

Interannual variations in meltwater input to the Southern Ocean from Antarctic ice shelves

S Adusumilli, HA Fricker, B Medley, L Padman… - Nature …, 2020 - nature.com
Ocean-driven basal melting of Antarctica's floating ice shelves accounts for about half of
their mass loss in steady state, where gains in ice-shelf mass are balanced by losses. Ice …

Mass balance of the Antarctic Ice Sheet from 1992 to 2017

Nature, 2018 - nature.com
Abstract The Antarctic Ice Sheet is an important indicator of climate change and driver of sea-
level rise. Here we combine satellite observations of its changing volume, flow and …
