Four decades of Antarctic Ice Sheet mass balance from 1979–2017
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2019 Significance Statement We evaluate the state of the mass balance of the Antarctic Ice Sheet over the last four decades using a comprehensive, precise satellite record and output products from a regional atmospheric climate model to document its impact on

Forty-six years of Greenland Ice Sheet mass balance from 1972 to 2018
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2019 Significance We reconstruct the mass balance of the Greenland Ice Sheet for the past 46 years by comparing glacier ice discharge into the ocean with interior accumulation of snowfall from regional atmospheric climate models over 260 drainage basins.

Marsh Sedimentation Controls Delta Top Morphology, Slope, and Mass Balance
Geophysical Research Letters, 2022 Rising sea levels, subsidence, and decreased fluvial sediment load threaten river deltas and their wetlands. However, the feedbacks between fluvial and non‐fluvial (marsh) deposition remain weakly constrained.

Potential of the retention capability of a Neotropical reservoir (São Paulo State, Brazil) [PDF]
Acta Limnologica Brasiliensia, 2023 : Aim Man-made reservoirs lead to several changes in their downstream rivers that depend on the hydraulic characteristics of the reservoirs. However, their multiple uses can also provide facilities that influence the ecosystem services that they provide.

Region-Wide Annual Glacier Surface Mass Balance for the European Alps From 2000 to 2016
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2020 Studying glacier mass changes at regional scale provides critical insights into the impact of climate change on glacierized regions, but is impractical using in situ estimates alone due to logistical and human constraints.

, 2020 . Antarctic ice sheet mass loss is currently equivalent to around 1 mm year−1 of global mean sea level rise. Most mass is lost due to sub-ice shelf melting and calving of icebergs.

Journal of Glaciology, 2017 We show results from a positive degree-day (PDD) model of Greenland ice sheet (GrIS) surface mass balance (SMB), 1870–2012, forced with reanalysis data. The model includes an improved daily temperature parameterization as compared with a previous version

Debris Emergence Elevations and Glacier Change
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021 Debris-covered glaciers represent potentially significant stores of freshwater in river basins throughout High Mountain Asia (HMA). Direct glacier mass balance measurements are extremely difficult to maintain on debris-covered glaciers, and optical ...
