Estimating volumes of supraglacial lakes on the AIS: Comparing satellite-based and model-based techniques for estimating water volume of supraglacial lakes on the Antarctic ice sheet

Disintegration of Antarctic ice shelves can induce devastated consequences for the environment and human infrastructure in the form of an increase of the global mean sea level. One of the causes of an ice shelf break down is hydrofracturing due to the mass load of supraglacial lakes. The top of the snowpack melts and the meltwater flows to a...

North Atlantic Cooling is Slowing Down Mass Loss of Icelandic Glaciers

Icelandic glaciers have been losing mass since the Little Ice Age in the mid-to-late 1800s, with higher mass loss rates in the early 21st century, followed by a slowdown since 2011. As of yet, it remains unclear whether this mass loss slowdown will persist in the future. By reconstructing the contemporary (1958–2019) surface mass balance of...
