Increased Ice Thinning over Svalbard measured by ICESat/ICESat-2 Laser Altimetry
We used spaceborne laser altimetry data from the ICESat and ICESat-2 missions to obtain ice elevation and mass change rates between 2003-2008 and 2019 over Svalbard. Elevation changes are derived at orbit crossover locations throughout the study area for glaciated and non-glaciated regions. We provi...
