It is estimated that at least 10% of the Earths surface is covered in glacial ice, 90% of which is in Antarctica(USGS, 2021). As part of the water cycle, ice caps, glaciers, and permanent snow store 1.7% of the total volumeof water on Earth (see Section 1.1).The following sub-sections describe ice i...

As part of the water cycle, ice caps, glaciers, and permanent snow store 1.7% of the total volumeof water on Earth (see Section 1.1).The following sub-sections describe ice in Australiansurface waters (see Section 15.1), relevant EO sensorsfor mapping and monitoring ice (see Section 15.2), EOof the Antarctic Ice Sheet (see Section 15.3), EO of seaice (see Section 15.4), and future opportunities andneeds in this area (see Section 15.5).
