Impact of frontal ablation on the ice thickness estimation of marine-terminating glaciers in Alaska

<p>Frontal ablation is a major component of the mass budget of calving glaciers, strongly affecting their dynamics. Most global-scale ice volume estimates to date still suffer from considerable uncertainties related to (i) the implemented frontal ablation parameterization or (ii) not accountin...
