In this thesis, I develop and demonstrate a system for monitoring fluctuations in the speed of Greenland ice sheet outlet glaciers with high temporal frequency from imagery acquired by a range of satellite missions. This work is motivated by an ambition to utilise a new era of operational satellites...
