Surface meltwater runoff on the Greenland ice sheet estimated from remotely sensed supraglacial lake infilling rate
Kang Yang,Laurence C. Smith,Laurence C. Smith,Xavier Fettweis,Colin J. Gleason,Yao Lu,Manchun Li +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used remote sensing of supraglacial lake volumes to estimate surface runoff through multispectral lake maps derived from Landsat-8 images and intersecting with dry lake-bed topographic depressions.

Small Arctic rivers mapped from Sentinel-2 satellite imagery and ArcticDEM
TL;DR: In this paper, high-resolution Sentinel-2 imagery with ArcticDEM data enable effective, continuous mapping of complex fluvial drainage patterns of Arctic rivers, and at a catchment scale, merging remotely sensed river networks with Arctic DEM-modelled drainage networks significantly improves river connectivity.

Response of supraglacial rivers and lakes to ice flow and surface melt on the northeast Greenland ice sheet during the 2017 melt season
TL;DR: In this article, the authors mapped the multi-temporal supraglacial rivers and lakes on the northeast Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) using sixty-five 10m Sentinel-2 multispectral satellite images acquired during the 2017 summer, and quantified their primary hydromorphology, including meltwater area fraction, meltwater volume, river length, river depth, lake shape, and lake depth.

Seasonal evolution of supraglacial lakes and rivers on the southwest Greenland Ice Sheet
Kang Yang,Laurence C. Smith,Matthew G. Cooper,Lincoln H. Pitcher,Dirk van As,Yao Lu,Xin Lu,Manchun Li +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used Landsat 8 satellite imagery to assess the seasonal evolution of supraglacial lakes and rivers on the southwest Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) surface during the 2015 melt season.
Diverse supraglacial drainage patterns on the Devon ice Cap, Arctic Canada
Yao Lu,Kang Yang,Xin Lu,Laurence C. Smith,Andrew Sole,Stephen J. Livingstone,Xavier Fettweis,Manchun Li +7 more
TL;DR: The Devon Ice Cap (DIC) is one of the largest ice masses in the Canadian Arctic as mentioned in this paper and each summer, extensive supraglacial river networks develop on the DIC surface and route large volumes of meltwater f...
