Abstract

It is estimated that at least 10% of the Earth’s surface is covered in glacial ice, 90% of which is in Antarctica (USGS, 2021). As part of the water cycle, ice caps, glaciers, and permanent snow store 1.7% of the total volume of water on Earth (see Section 1.1). The following sub-sections describe ice in Australian surface waters (see Section 15.1), relevant EO sensors for mapping and monitoring ice (see Section 15.2), EO of the Antarctic Ice Sheet (see Section 15.3), EO of sea ice (see Section 15.4), and future opportunities and needs in this area (see Section 15.5).
