This thesis uses ground-based, airborne and spaceborne elevation measurements to estimate elevation change and mass balance of glaciers and ice caps on the Svalbard archipelago in the Norwegian Arctic. Remote sensing data are validated against field measurements from annual campaigns at the Austfonn...
