    • Title Seasonal results from the survey
    • Released 26/10/2005 3:57 pm
    • Copyright O. M. Johannessen, K. S. Khvorostovsky, M. W. Miles and L. P. Bobylev (2005): Recent ice sheet growth in the interior of Greenland. Science (In Press, and October 20, 2005 issue of Science Express).
    • Description

      This animation of the Greenland results shows the boundaries (thick line) of the ice sheet and major ice divides (thin lines). The colours indicate ice sheet elevation change rate in centimetres per year (see colour scale). These values are derived from 11 years of ERS-1/ERS-2 satellite altimeter data, 1992–2003, excluding some ice-sheet marginal areas (white). The spatially averaged rate is +5.4 cm/year, or ~5 cm/year when corrected for bedrock uplift. The white areas between the colour-coded pixels and the thick line delimiting the ice sheet indicate no observations. Latitude in °N, longitude in °W.
