Scambos and his colleagues analyzed five images taken by the Landsat 7 satellite before and after the Larsen B breakup as well as data from ICESat, which
measures changes in elevation.
Your wearable device uses either an altimeter or a barometer to
measure changes in elevation.

Any research that relies on
measuring changes in Earth's surface, including studies of volcanoes and coastal erosion, would benefit from
elevation data produced by the SETSM software, Howat said.
It The plane carries a laser instrument that
measures changes in the ice
elevation, a high - resolution camera system to image the surface, and an instrument to infer the surface temperature.
Although CryoSat - 2 is designed to
measure changes in the ice sheet
elevation, these can be translated into horizontal motion at the grounding line using knowledge of the glacier and sea floor geometry and the Archimedes principle of buoyancy — which relates the thickness of floating ice to the height of its surface.
Using data from Global Positioning System (GPS) stations and Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) images collected during successive satellite fly - overs, ASU researchers were able to
measure changes in surface
elevation during a time period spanning the main Gorkha event, and several major aftershocks, with centimeter accuracy.
By comparing the
changes in elevation of the entire surfaces of these volcanoes, they were able to
measure how they rose and fell over that time.
In a new study, published in Global Change Biology, scientists from the Universities of Bristol, James Cook University, and Melbourne University in Australia tested the response of the tropical rainforest fly Drosophila birchii to a changing climate by transplanting flies in hundreds of cages along mountain gradients in north - eastern Australia, and measuring their reproductive success at different elevation

The action proved lots of fun thanks to the interesting route which included a tight chicane
in the middle of a small town, some tricky S bends complete with
elevation changes and even a bridge crossing or two for good
measure.

Satellite radar altimetry,
in which timing of a radar or laser beam return back to a satellite is used as a
measure of surface
elevation, enabled researchers to assess ice mass by examining
elevation change over time.
Although CryoSat - 2 is designed to
measure changes in the ice sheet
elevation, these can be translated into horizontal motion at the grounding line using knowledge of the glacier and sea floor geometry and the Archimedes principle of buoyancy — which relates the thickness of floating ice to the height of its surface.
Do we really have the understanding and sensitivity
in all of our
measuring to capture the energy budget as it
changes form, phase, and location, or are there possibly slow
changes in thermocline depths, hydrologic cycle speeds, atmospheric
elevations, large ocean currents etc, that can receive energy quickly but manifest it as temperature slowly or even imperceptibly
in regard to our ability to capture these
changes?
The M9 motion coprocessor
in the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus is also able to
measure walking and running pace
in addition to steps, distance, and
elevation changes.
A compass and barometer work to
measure direction and
elevation changes, and an IP68 rating means it can be fully submerged
in water for up to half an hour without risking damage.
