| Zusammenfassung |
| The PROMICE (Programme for Monitoring of the Greenland Ice Sheet)
aerophotogrammetric map of Greenland ice masses is the first high resolution
dataset documenting the mid-1980s areal extent of the Greenland Ice Sheet and
all the local glaciers and ice caps. The total glacierized area excluding
nunataks was 1 804 638 km2 ± 2178 km2, of which
88 083 ± 1240 km2 belonged to local glaciers and ice caps (GIC)
substantially independent from the Greenland Ice Sheet. This new result of
GIC glacierized area is higher than most previous estimates, 81% greater
than Weng's (1995) measurements, but is in line with contemporary findings
based on independent data sources. A comparison between our map and the
recently released Rastner et al. (2012) inventory and GIMP (Greenland Ice
Mapping Project) Ice-Cover Mask (Howat and Negrete, 2013) shows potential
for change-assessment studies. |
