The Frozen Frontier: Monitoring the Greenland ice sheet from space and the ground
Week 3: What we see in the data: ice sheet dynamics and change
A detailed look at Greenland ice sheet dynamics and its impact on the planet.
Topic 3a - What the data has revealed - rate of ice melt and internal warming
How have satellite measurements enhanced our knowledge of the rate of change in the ice sheet?
Topic 3b - Measuring sea ice extent and thickening
Measuring sea ice extent and thickening
Topic 3c - Ice sheet velocity and seasonal variation (Part 1) - using SAR to measure ice sheet velocity
What can we observe about the velocity of movement in the ice sheet and seasonal variations, using satellite data?
Topic 3c - Ice sheet velocity and seasonal variation (Part 2) - Grounding lines
The importance of grounding lines in increasing understanding of the meeting point of sea ice and land ice
Topic 3d - Coastal ice thinning
Coastal ice thinning and its implications.
Topic 3e - Long term implications of ice sheet melt
The long term implications of Greenland ice sheet melt, globally and locally.
