Interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) data from the ERS-1 and ERS-2 satellites are used to measure the surface velocity, topography, and grounding line position of the major outlet glaciers in the northern sector of the Greenland ice sheet. The mass output of the glaciers at and above the...
