Solid Earth’s response to climate change in Svalbard monitored by space geodesy 
crossref(2024)
摘要
The Svalbard archipelago in the Arctic is extremely sensitive to climate change. The resulting redistribution of mass, including recent and past ice melt, induces deformations of the Earth's surface and temporal variations in its gravity field, which can be detected by space geodesy. The cross-comparison of different techniques takes advantage of their complementary temporal and spatial resolutions, helping to distinguish between local, regional and global signals. We analyse more than 20 years of GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) satellite 3D positionning solutions at 17 permanent sites. The results are compared with deformations computed from time gravity field variations observed by the space gravimetry missions GRACE (Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment) and GRACE Follow-On. The mean vertical motion is of about 9 mm/year and can reach 15 mm/year. We then compare these GNSS and GRACE datasets with Little Ice Age (LIA) and Global Isostatic Adjustment (GIA) models as well as with satellite altimetry observations from Cryosat-2 and IceSat-2. We infer the various contributions and quantify the impact of the current climate change on Svalbard. In addition to better estimate the acceleration of the current ice melting we apply an innovative seasonal adjustment method. The results are then discussed in relation to in situ observations.
