RETROSPECTIVE STUDY OF VERTICAL GROUND DEFORMATION IN COMO, NORTHERN ITALY: INTEGRATION OF LEVELLING AND PSI MEASUREMENTS

We propose an innovative multi-satellite DEM adjustment model (MDAM) that removes biases in elevation between sub-DEMs across ice shelves. Our results reveal quantitative 3D structural and mélange features of a ~50 km long rift. For first time, we found that while the mélange elevation decreased from 2014–2021, the mélange inside the rift experienced a rapid expansion, attributing to newly calved shelf ice from rift walls, associated rift widening, and other rift-mélange interaction factors.
