Elevation change of the Greenland Ice Sheet between 2011 and 2017
Elevation change of the Greenland Ice Sheet between 2011 and 2017
Using TanDEM-X data, an elevation difference image was created that illustrates the change in elevation of the Greenland Ice Sheet. The peripheral glaciers along the northwest coast of Greenland were observed between 2011 and 2017. Losses in ice height are visible in shades of red, with darker shades indicating greater losses. According to radar data, the glaciers here have lost up to 50 metres in height.
