Abstract
⺠Supraglacial lakes are important in studying mass loss of the Greenland Ice Sheet. ⺠We develop a highly-accurate algorithm to automatically track lakes in MODIS imagery. ⺠The lake parameters are examined in the context of in situ observations of annual melt intensity. ⺠Result 1: Supraglacial lakes drain more frequently and disappear earlier in warmer years. ⺠Result 2: Supraglacial lakes migrate to higher elevations in warmer years.
