Grounding line migration of Petermann Gletscher, north Greenland, detected using satellite radar interferometry

Ice Sheet grounding lines are sensitive indicators of changes in ice thickness, sea level or elevation of the sea bed. Here, we use the synthetic-aperture radar try technique to detect the migration of the limit of tidal flexing, or hinge line, of Petermann a major outlet glacier of north Greenland...
