Sea level rise, which affects inhabitants of the Earth, has led to a major research interest in the mass balance of the ice sheets. NASA responded by initiating a program to measure the elevation and thickness of the Greenland ice sheet. Airborne laser altimetry and radio echo sounding provide methods for obtaining the ice parameters.
