The paper presents the first retrievals of clean snow properties using spaceborne
hyperspectral observations via the Environmental Mapping and Analysis Program (EnMAP) …

We present an update of the Snow and Ice (SICE) property retrieval algorithm based on the
spectral measurements of Ocean and Land Color Instrument (OLCI) onboard Sentinel-3 …

Stable water isotopes from polar ice cores are invaluable high-resolution climate proxy
records. Recent studies have aimed to improve our understanding of how the climate signal …

We developed a Handheld Integrating Sphere Snow Grain Sizer (HISSGraS) for field use to
measure the specific surface area (SSA) of snow. In addition to snow samples, HISSGraS …

Over half of the recent mass loss from the Greenland ice sheet, and its associated
contribution to global sea level rise, can be attributed to increased surface meltwater runoff …

The grain size of the superficial snow layer is a key determinant of the surface albedo in
Antarctica. Its evolution is the result of multiple interacting processes, such as dry and wet …

Snow cover in a mountain area is a physical parameter that induces quite rapid changes in
the landscape, from a geomorphological point of view. In particular, snowmelt plays a crucial …

A significant portion of surface melt on the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) is due to dark ice
regions in the ablation zone, where solar absorption is influenced by the physical properties …

The size of snow grains is an important parameter in cryosphere studies. It is the main
parameter affecting snow albedo and can have a feedback effect on regional climate …

If the front page of Nature, which has featured Thwaites Glacier and other retreating glaciers
throughout recent years, has taught us anything, it is that the snow—the snow that supports …
