Spatio-temporal changes in glacier-wide mass balance quantified by optical remote sensing on 30 glaciers in the French Alps for the period 1983–2014

Remote sensing is a powerful method to reconstruct annual mass-balance series over past decades by exploiting archives of available images, as well as to study glaciers in inaccessible regions. We present the application of a methodological framework based only on optical satellite images to retriev...
