Separating glacial isostatic adjustment and ice-mass change signals in Antarctica using satellite data

The main goal of this thesis involves the development of a refined methodology to<br/>separate the mass change signals associated with glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA)<br/>from those of surface ice/firn by exploiting the strengths of independent data sets,<br/>such as those from gravimetry, altimetry, climate data, and others. To achieve this,...

A comparison of coincident GRACE and ICESat data over Antarctica

In this study, we present a comparison of coincident GRACE and ICESat data over Antarctica. The analysis focused on the secular changes over a 4-year period spanning from 2003 to 2007, using the recently reprocessed and publicly available data sets for both missions. The results show that the two independent data sets possess strong spatial...
