Glacier monitoring from in-situ and remotely sensed observations

Convener: Ethan WeltyECSECS | Co-conveners: Etienne Berthier, Lea Hartl

Long-term and large-scale monitoring is necessary to establish past glacier distributions and their changes over time. Such observations – ranging from seasonal mass balances of single glaciers to decadal volume changes of entire regions – are vital to understanding underlying processes and projecting future changes. We thus invite contributions on all aspects of glacier monitoring (e.g., of area, length, volume, temperature, velocity, mass), as well as method comparisons and uncertainty assessments.
