S.: Rapid volume loss from two East Greenland outlet glaciers quantified using repeat stereo satellite imagery, Geophys
glaciers in southeast Greenland lost at least 51 ± 8 km3 yr1 of ice between 2001–2006 due to thinning and retreat, according to an analysis of sequential digital elevation models (DEMs) derived from stereo ASTER satellite imagery. The dominant contribution to this ice loss was dynamic thinning cause...
