Radar sounding is a powerful geophysical approach for characterizing the subsurface
conditions of terrestrial and planetary ice masses at local to global scales. As a result, a wide …

Large national programs in the United States and several Asian countries have defined and
characterised their marine methane hydrate occurrences in some detail, but European …

The cryosphere (including, snow, glaciers, permafrost, lake and river ice) is an integral
element of high mountain regions, which are home to roughly 10% of the global population …

Abstract Knowledge of the ice thickness distribution of the world's glaciers is a fundamental
prerequisite for a range of studies. Projections of future glacier change, estimates of the …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Glaciers in the Arctic have lost considerable mass during the last two decades. About a third
of the glaciers by area drains into the ocean, yet the mechanisms and drivers governing …

Data assimilation in high-order ice flow modeling is a challenging and computationally
costly task, yet crucial to find ice thickness and ice flow parameter distributions that are …

Although worldwide inventories of glacier area have been coordinated internationally for
several decades, a similar effort for glacier ice thicknesses was only initiated in 2013. Here …
