The project aims to inventory and track the status and trends of glaciers, using aircraft-based laser altimetry and satellite data, particularly focusing on ICESat-2 data. The grant requires updating a time series of glacier surface elevations, developing a methodology for incorporating satellite data, and delivering electronically archived data and technical reports. The deadline for application submission is April 12, 2020.
