Satellite observations have transformed our understanding of the Antarctic cryosphere. The
continent holds the vast majority of Earth's fresh water, and blankets swathes of the Southern …

Recent advances in the determination of the mass balance of polar ice sheets show that the
Greenland Ice Sheet is losing mass by near-coastal thinning, and that the West Antarctic Ice …

Matching electricity, heat, and cold demand with supply at low cost is the greatest concern
facing countries seeking to provide their all-purpose energy with 100% clean, renewable …

We combined an ensemble of satellite altimetry, interferometry, and gravimetry data sets
using common geographical regions, time intervals, and models of surface mass balance …

Abstract Fluctuations in Antarctic Ice Sheet elevation and mass occur over a variety of time
scales, owing to changes in snowfall and ice flow. Here we disentangle these signals by …

The Periglacial Environment, Fourth Edition, is an authoritative overview of the world's cold,
non-glacial environments. First published in 1976 and subsequently revised in 1996 and …

Glaciers and Glaciation is the classic textbook for all students of glaciation. Stimulating and
accessible, it has established a reputation as a comprehensive and essential resource. In …

In 1994, ocean measurements near Antarctica's Pine Island Glacier showed that the ice
shelf buttressing the glacier was melting rapidly. This melting was attributed to the presence …

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 …

Abstract Thinning ice in West Antarctica, resulting from acceleration in the flow of outlet
glaciers, is at present contributing about 10% of the observed rise in global sea level. Pine …
