I always enjoy thinking about novel ways to combine #RemoteSensing datasets!
This new paper, led by Clément Soriot, shows that observations made by radiometers (AMSR, SMAP) strongly correlate with high-precision, #Altimetry-derived estimates of #SeaIce thickness in the #Arctic.
This technique could allow us to create a #TimeSeries of daily sea-ice thickness back to the 1980's.

Here's an interesting recent modelling study led by Brice Noël about the ability of the #Greenland #Icesheet to retain #Meltwater in the #Firn layer under different #EmissionScenarios.
They show, under #SSP5-8.5, that the amount of meltwater that can refreeze will peak as early as 2100 in SW Greenland, subsequently leading to increased surface #Runoff and accelerated #SeaLevelRise.
