For more than a decade these Earth - observing satellites have provided some of the first environmental measurements on a global scale, including large - scale changes in the mass of polar ice. (scientificamerican.com)
Traditional field methods are combined with remote sensing techniques to track changes in mass, geometry and the flow behaviour of the two glaciers. (nichols.edu)
I will now analyse how the system could work and show that composition changes not involving changes in mass only affect atmospheric volume and circulation patterns and not surface temperature. (newclimatemodel.com)
