2003-2009 using Ice, Cloud and land Elevation Satellite (ICESat) laser altimeter data [Zwally et al., 2011]. Elevation changes are often reported to be largest near the frontal portion of outlet glaciers. To improve the volume change estimate, we supplement the ICESat data with altimeter surveys fro...
