Direct Reconstruction of Three-dimensional Glacier Bedrock and Surface Elevation from Free Surface Velocity

This study presents a new algorithm to reconstruct both the ice-surface elevation and the altitude of the bedrock of a glacier from the knowledge of the ice-surface velocity which could potentially be obtained from satellite data. It requires the prior knowledge of the surface mass balance and basal...
