We use a combination of satellite techniques (interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR),visible-band imagery, and repeat-track laser altimetry) to develop a benchmark map for the AmeryIce Shelf (AIS) grounding zone (GZ), including its islands and ice rises. The break-in-slope, as an indirecte...
