Background
The rationale behind the APMB project
The APMB (Antarctic Peninsula Mass Balance) project will provide an improved estimate of Antarctic Peninsula Ice Sheet mass balance from satellite techniques by increasing the spatial extent and time period that our measurements cover. The project began in 2013 and will run for two years. It is an international collaboration between seven institutions, and is supported by the European Space Agency's (ESA) Support to Science Element (STSE) program. APMB will deliver important new scientific results which will better our understanding of the Antarctic Peninsula Ice Sheet and its contribution to sea level change.
