CryoSat reveals ice loss from glaciers in Alaska and Asia

CryoSat reveals ice loss from glaciers in Alaska and Asia

CryoSat shows that between 2010 and 2019, the Gulf of Alaska lost 76 Gt of ice per year while High Mountain Asia lost 28 Gt of ice per year. These losses are equivalent to adding 0.21 mm and 0.05 mm

CryoSat reveals retreat of Patagonian glaciers

CryoSat reveals retreat of Patagonian glaciers

Apart from Antarctica, Patagonia is home to the biggest glaciers in the southern hemisphere, but some are retreating faster than anywhere else in the world. This is because the weather is relatively warm and these glaciers typically terminate in fjords

Heterogeneous and rapid ice loss over the Patagonian Ice Fields

Heterogeneous and rapid ice loss over the Patagonian Ice Fields

CryoSat-2 swath radar altimetry is employed successfully to map elevation change over the Patagonian Ice Fields at sub-kilometer spatial resolution. Despite the challenging topography, similar to that of mountain glaciers, the technique can be used to observe changes over individual
