We are in the process of migrating all NASA Earth science data sites into Earthdata from now until end of 2026. Not all NASA Earth science data and resources will appear here until then. Thank you for your patience as we make this transition.

Glacier Mass Balance/Ice Sheet Mass Balance Data Access and Tools
Data from NASA range from gridded monthly global water storage/height anomalies to models projecting glacier mass change, runoff, and the various components associated with changes in mass and runoff. Our datasets and tools help users find and integrate the data they need to measure how the mass of glaciers and ice sheets changes from year to year and their implications.
