Mass balance of the ice sheets and glaciers – Progress since AR5 and challenges
Recent research shows increasing decadal ice mass losses from the Greenland and Antarctic Ice Sheets and more generally from glaciers worldwide in the light of continued global warming. Here, in an update of our previous ISMASS paper (Hanna et al. 2013), we review recent observational estimates of i...
