Synthesis of the ICESat/ICESat-2 and CryoSat-2 observations to reconstruct time series of lake level
International Journal of Digital Earth, 2023 Synthesis of multi-satellite altimetry facilitates the acquisition of long-term changes in lake level but may induce biases due to inconsistent data sources, and thus remains largely unexplored.

Water Level Change of Qinghai Lake from ICESat and ICESat-2 Laser Altimetry
Remote Sensing, 2022 Long-term satellite observations of the water levels of lakes are crucial to our understanding of lake hydrological basin systems. The Ice, Cloud, and Land Elevation satellite (ICESat) and ICESat-2 were employed to monitor the water level of Qinghai Lake

Increased Ice Thinning over Svalbard Measured by ICESat/ICESat-2 Laser Altimetry [PDF]
Remote Sensing, 2021 A decade-long pronounced increase in temperatures in the Arctic, especially in the Barents Sea region, resulted in a global warming hotspot over Svalbard. Associated changes in the cryosphere are the consequence and lead to a demand for monitoring of the glacier changes.

Uncertainties on the combined use of ICESat and ICESat-2 observations to monitor lake levels
Frontiers in Water, 2023 Lake water level is an important variable to indicate lake hydrological balances and climate change impacts. Benefiting from the launch of the laser altimeters ICESat and ICESat-2, higher spatial-resolution elevation measurements have opened new ...

Tibetan Plateau's Lake Level and Volume Changes From NASA's ICESat/ICESat‐2 and Landsat Missions
Geophysical Research Letters, 2019 AbstractLake level change is an effective indicator of climate change, because it reflects the dynamic balance of water input and loss. Here we provide a first look of Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite‐2 (ICESat‐2) on the lakes of the Tibetan Plateau. ICESat‐2 doubles the number of lakes observed using predecessor ICESat data.
