TL;DR: This article used an extrapolation of glaciological and geodetic observations to show that glaciers contributed 27 ± 22 millimetres to global mean sea-level rise from 1961 to 2016.

TL;DR: The largest collection so far of glaciological and geodetic observations suggests that glaciers contributed about 27 millimetres to sea-level rise from 1961 to 2016, at rates of ice loss that could see the disappearance of many glaciers this century.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a semi-empirical estimate of annual sea-level contribution from seven Arctic regions by scaling the in situ records to GRACE averages, and they contend that their estimate represents the most accurate Arctic land ice mass balance assessment so far available before the 1992 start of satellite altimetry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparing simple albedo scaling methods for estimating Arctic glacier mass balance
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report on the correlations between MODIS Terra albedo measurements (Version 6) and net annual mass balance for five glaciers in the Canadian Arctic over the period 2002-2016.
