An important component of NASA's Program for Arctic Regional Climate Assessment (PARCA) is a mass balance investigation of the Greenland Ice Sheet. The mass bal

The Greenland Ice Sheet contains nearly 3 million cubic kilometers of glacial ice. Were the ice to completely melt, that would cause the sea level to rise about

Snow accumulation in remote regions such as Greenland and Antarctica is a key factor for estimating Earth's ice mass balance. In situ data are sparse, hence it

This report assesses potential research applications of satellite data over the terrestrial ice sheets of Greenland and Antarctica and recommends actions requir

The cryosphere, that region of the world where water is temporarily or permanently frozen, plays a crucial role on our planet. Recent developments in remote sen
