Mass Balance

This chapter reviews key approaches used to determine the mass balance of valley glaciers, ice caps and ice sheets and monitor their mass changes over time. The methods discussed include in situ, satellite/airborne and gravimetric observations, and modelling driven by outputs from climate models. Th...
