The land ice contribution to sea level during the satellite era (2017, result): “This is consistent with an estimate derived from ICESat elevation changes for a shorter epoch (2003-08) (Kääb et al 2012).”
Glacier mass changes on the Tibetan Plateau 2003–2009 derived from ICESat laser altimetry measurements (2014, methodology): “Laser altimetry data acquired by the Geoscience Laser Altimeter System (GLAS) carried on-board the Ice Cloud and Elevation Satellite (ICESat) were proven to be an accurate data source for the regional estimation of glacier elevation changes (Kääb et al 2012, Bolch et al 2013, Gardner et al 2013).”
Accelerated global glacier mass loss in the early twenty-first century (2021, neutral): “Nominal glaciers correspond to uncharted glaciers inventoried in the RGI 6.0 with only an estimated surface area, present notably in region 10 (North Asia), where they contribute to 3.0% of the region’s total glacier area.”
