Satellite data and multispectral imagery advance glacier lake depth measurement

As global warming accelerates, the increasing number of supraglacial lakes and the need to accurately measure their depths have become critical for understanding ice sheet mass balance and sea-level rise. These lakes, formed by meltwater accumulation on ice sheet surfaces, significantly influence ice sheet dynamics and melting rates. As global warming accelerates, the increasing number of supraglacial lakes and the need to accurately measure their depths have become critical for understanding ice sheet mass balance and sea-level rise.
