7. How to measure ice sheet changes
GRACE Satellite
Gravity Recovery & Climate Experiment
measures changes in gravity and thus mass

8. Increasing Ice Mass Loss - Greenland
NASA’s GRACE satellite directly
measures ice mass loss
Shows increasing rate of ice loss
in Greenland during
Land GPS uplift measurements
allow calibration of GRACE results
As ice melts, land is uplifted due
to the decreased weight
GPS measurements also show
increasing ice loss
GRACE = Gravity Recovery
and Climate Experiment
Kahn et al. [2009]

9. Melting of West Antarctic Ice from Gravity Measurements
Ice Mass Loss in Antarctica from GRACE
Ice Mass in West Antarctica
Glacial Isostatic Adjustment uplift is needed
to correct gravity measurements to get another
measure of ice loss
GRACE satellite measures large ice loss along the
Amundsen Sea coast and the Antarctic Peninsula
Shows increasing rate of ice mass loss
Harig & Simons [2015]
