A reconciled estimate of ice-sheet mass balance

TL;DR: There is good agreement between different satellite methods—especially in Greenland and West Antarctica—and that combining satellite data sets leads to greater certainty, and the mass balance of Earth’s polar ice sheets is estimated by combining the results of existing independent techniques.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mass balance of the Antarctic ice sheet from 1992 to 2017.

TL;DR: This work combines satellite observations of its changing volume, flow and gravitational attraction with modelling of its surface mass balance to show that the Antarctic Ice Sheet lost 2,720 ± 1,390 billion tonnes of ice between 1992 and 2017, which corresponds to an increase in mean sea level of 7.6‚¬3.9 millimetres.
Journal ArticleDOI

Warm ocean is eroding West Antarctic Ice Sheet

TL;DR: In this paper, satellite radar measurements show that ice shelves in Pine Island Bay have thinned by up to 5.5 m yr−1 over the past decade, and the pattern of shelf thinning mirrors that of their grounded tributaries - the Pine Island, Thwaites and Smith glaciers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rapid discharge connects Antarctic subglacial lakes.

TL;DR: Ice-sheet surface elevation changes in central East Antarctica are presented that are interpreted to represent rapid discharge from a subglacial lake, and it is suggested that entire sub glacial drainage basins may be flushed periodically.
