We report on long-term surface elevation changes of the central Amery Ice Shelf (AIS) by comparing elevation records spanning 4 decades (19682007). We use elevation records acquired with the following methods: optical leveling (19681969); ERS radar altimetry (19922003); GPS (19952006); and Ice, Clou...
