Short Summary

This paper investigates the rate of glacier loss in High Mountain Asia using data from ICESat and ICESat-2 satellites, aiming to quantify any acceleration in ice mass reduction.

Objective

• To quantify the rate of glacier mass loss in High Mountain Asia and determine if this loss has accelerated, utilizing altimetry data from ICESat and ICESat-2 missions.

Study Configuration

• Spatial Scale: High Mountain Asia (inferred from title)
• Temporal Scale: Information not available from the provided text (would cover the operational periods of ICESat and ICESat-2).

Methodology and Data

• Models used: Information not available from the provided text.
• Data sources: ICESat (Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite) and ICESat-2 (Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite-2) satellite altimetry data.
