Global sea level change: Determination and interpretation
The notion of sea level rise brings to the popular mind the specter of deep inundation of coastal regions. One pictures skyscrapers emerging from the waters like so many sleeping flamingos standing…
Calculated variations of annual ice ablation at the margin of the Greenland ice sheet, West Greenland, 1961-90
Annual ice ablation has been measured at three locations at the margin of the Greenland ice sheet : Nordbogletscher (for 6 years : 1977-78 to 1982-83), Qamanârssup sermia (8 years : 1979-80 to…

Elevation Change of the Greenland Ice Sheet: Reassessment
Elevation change measurements from satellite altimetry for the southern Greenland ice sheet (south of 72 “N) are re-examined after incorporating technical advancements that significantly improve…
Surficial glaciology of Jakobshavns Isbræ, West Greenland: Part I. Surface morphology
Jakobshavns Isbrae is a large, fast-moving ice stream/outlet glacier in West Greenland which ends at a floating, calving front. It drains about 6.5% of the area of the Greenland ice sheet. Studies of…

Earthquakes and sea level: Space and terrestrial metrology on a changing planet
The complacency with which Man inhabits continent-ocean margins or plate boundaries is based on the assumption that sea level rise and periodic seismicity are acceptable risks. The forecast of future…
Will greenhouse warming lead to Northern Hemisphere ice-sheet growth?
ALTHOUGH model simulations predict a higher mean global temperature by the middle of the next century in response to increased atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases1, the response of the…
Elevation change of the southern greenland ice sheet
TLDR
Seasat and Geosat satellite altimeter measurements for the Greenland ice sheet show that surface elevations above 2000 meters increased at an average rate of only 1.5 +/- 0.5 centimeters per year from 1978 to 1988, too small to determine if the ice sheet is undergoing a long-term change due to a warmer polar climate.
