The gains were linked to unusual precipitation patterns, which may be temporary. What's next: The Antarctic Ice Sheet holds more than half of the world’s fresh water.

Through satellite gravimetry analysis of Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) mass changes from 2002 to 2023, striking mass change rates have been identified. The study reveals the most significant mass loss ...

For understanding changes in the ice mass, researchers looked into the satellite gravimetry data gathered by the GRACE and GRACE-FO missions. These missions essentially calculated the variations ...

Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) sensors have revolutionised gravimetry by enabling the realisation of compact, low-cost devices capable of measuring minute gravitational variations.

Along the Tien Shan, Central Asia's largest mountain range, glaciers have lost 27 percent of their mass and 18 percent of their area during the last 50 years. Glaciers play an important role in ...
