Glaciers distinct from the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets are currently losing mass
rapidly with direct and severe impacts on the habitability of some regions on Earth as glacier …

Approximately 60% of Svalbard's land areas are glaciated at the present time. The
Archipelago has more than 1100 glaciers (> 1 km 2) and 163 of these are “tidewater …

The melting of glaciers and ice caps accounts for about one-third of current sea-level rise,–,
exceeding the mass loss from the more voluminous Greenland or Antarctic Ice Sheets,. The …

This report was commissioned by the Norwegian Environment Agency in order to provide
basic information for use in climate change adaptation in Svalbard. It includes descriptions …

The anticipated retreat of glaciers around the globe will pose far-reaching challenges to the
management of fresh water resources and significantly contribute to sea-level rise within the …

Tide gauges show that global sea level has risen about 7 inches during the 20th century,
and recent satellite data show that the rate of sea-level rise is accelerating. As Earth warms …

The climate in Svalbard is undergoing amplified change compared to the global mean. This
has major implications for runoff from glaciers and seasonal snow on land. We use a …

Since the first estimates of Svalbard-wide glacier mass balance were made in the early
2000s, there has been great progress in remote sensing and modeling of mass balance …

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 …

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 …
