Ice thickness measurements and volume estimates for glaciers in Norway

Andreassen, l.M. ; Huss, Matthias ; Melvold, K. ; Elvehøy, H. ; Winsvold, S. H.

In: Journal of Glaciology, 2015, vol. 61, no. 228, p. 763–775

Glacier volume and ice thickness distribution are important variables for water resource management in Norway and the assessment of future glacier changes. We present a detailed assessment of thickness distribution and total glacier volume for mainland Norway based on data and modelling. Glacier outlines from a Landsat-derived inventory from 1999 to 2006 covering an area of 2692 ± 81 km² were...

Glacier-wide mass balance has been measured for more than sixty years and is widely used as an indicator of climate change and to assess the glacier contribution to runoff and sea level rise. Until recently, comprehensive uncertainty assessments have rarely been carried out and mass balance data have often been applied using rough error estimation or without consideration of errors. In this...
