A new physically based approach for calculating glacier ice thickness distribution and
volume is presented and applied to all glaciers and ice caps worldwide. Combining glacier …

We present estimates of sea-level change caused by the global surface mass balance of
glaciers, based on the reconstruction and projection of the surface mass balance of all the …

Projections of global sea-level rise by 2100 CE range from 20 cm to as much as 2 m (,), and
sea level will not stop rising then. For civilization, the stakes are high. Without adaptation, a …

A surge cycle of the Bering Glacier system, Alaska, is examined using observations of
surface velocity obtained using synthetic aperture radar (SAR) offset tracking, and elevation …

We examine the limitations of a semiempirical model characterized by a sea level projection
of 73 cm with RCP4. 5 scenario by 2100. Calibrating the model with data to 1990 and then …

Declines in glacier area and volume are widespread. These changes will have important
hydrologic consequences since glaciers store tremendous amounts of fresh water and buffer …

Figure S 1: Regions of the Randolph Glacier Inventory. Red numbers refer to regional
glacier area (in 1000 km2), and blue numbers to calculated ice volume (in mm sea-level …

Changes in sea level represent an integration of many aspects of climate change, and thus
occur over a broad 3 range of temporal and spatial scales. The primary contributors to global …

I asses the feasibility of multi-variate scaling relationships to estimate glacier volume from
glacier inventory data. I calibrate scaling laws against volume observations of optimized …

The cryosphere, comprising snow, river and lake ice, sea ice, glaciers, ice shelves and ice
sheets, and frozen 3 ground, plays a major role in the Earth's climate system through its …
