On-Orbit Geometric Calibration and Accuracy Validation for Laser Footprint Cameras of GF-7 Satellite
Remote Sensing, 2022 The Gaofen-7 (GF-7) satellite uses a two-beam laser altimetry system in which each beam is equipped with a laser footprint camera (LFC) to provide geometric processing of the laser footprint images that assist in optical image stereo mapping.

Satellite Remote Sensing of the Greenland Ice Sheet Ablation Zone: A Review
Remote Sensing, 2019 The Greenland Ice Sheet is now the largest land ice contributor to global sea level rise, largely driven by increased surface meltwater runoff from the ablation zone, i.e., areas of the ice sheet where annual mass losses exceed gains.

Brief communication "Importance of slope-induced error correction in volume change estimates from radar altimetry" [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2012 In deriving elevation change rates (d<I>H</I>/d<I>t</I>) from radar altimetry, the slope-induced error is usually assumed to cancel out in repeat measurements.

A new DEM of the Austfonna ice cap by combining differential SAR interferometry with ICESat laser altimetry [PDF]
Polar Research, 2012 We present a new digital elevation model (DEM) of the Austfonna ice cap in the Svalbard Archipelago, Norwegian Arctic. Previous DEMs derived from synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and optical shape-from-shading have been tied to airborne radio echo-sounding
