A new DEM of the Austfonna ice cap by combining differential SAR interferometry with ICESat laser altimetry [PDF]
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

Brief communication: Unabated wastage of the Juneau and Stikine icefields (southeast Alaska) in the early 21st century [PDF]
The large Juneau and Stikine icefields (Alaska) lost mass rapidly in the second part of the 20th century. Laser altimetry, gravimetry and field measurements suggest continuing mass loss in the early 21st century.
