Glacier Changes in Iceland From ∼1890 to 2019

Glacier Changes in Iceland From ∼1890 to 2019

The volume of glaciers in Iceland (∼3,400 km3 in 2019) corresponds to about 9 mm of potential global sea level rise. In this study, observations from 98.7% of glacier covered areas in Iceland (in 2019) are used to construct a record of mass change of Icelandic glaciers since the end of the 19th cent...
