Geodesists visualize the ice-mass loss of Antarctica

The Antarctic ice sheet, with a thickness of up to 4800 meter, has lost mass in the recent years. This was confirmed by a variety of scientific studies. Scientists of the Institut für Planetare Geodäsie of TU Dresden now visualize the ice-mass loss: The interested public and scientific community can follow the Antarctic ice-mass changes month by month and divided by regions. For this, Prof. Martin Horwath and his team analysed data of the German–US American satellite mission GRAC
