The Largest Ice Thickness Survey of Alaska’s Glaciers

This groundbreaking survey reveals detailed thickness measurements of Alaska’s glaciers and extends into northwestern Canada, providing invaluable data for scientists studying climate change. Over ten years, NASA's airborne radar technology has compiled the most comprehensive inventory yet, highlighting the crucial role these glaciers play in global sea-level rise and regional climate patterns. Understanding these ice volumes is vital for predicting future changes and impacts, underscoring the importance of continued monitoring and research in this field.
