Progression of the surge in the Negribreen Glacier System from two years of ICESat-2 measurements by Thomas Trantow, Ute Christina Herzfeld

“…Detailed and precise mapping of height changes on surging glaciers has previously escaped observations from space due to the limited resolution of space-borne altimeter data and the surface characteristics of glaciers during surge, such as heavy crevassing. This makes geophysical interpretation of deformation and assessment of mass transfer difficult. …”
