“…Bayesian methods have recently gained significant momentum in the glaciological community as they allow the combination of various sources of information within a single statistically coherent framework (see, for example, Zammit-Mangion et al, 2015;Brinkerhoff et al, 2016;Guillet et al, 2020;Werder et al, 2020;Zhang and Cressie, 2020;Gopalan et al, 2021). This paper presents a method to derive probabilistic estimates of glacier surface elevation changes by conditioning glacier volume variation observations on previously available knowledge of glacier surface elevation changes (i.e., previously published data and/or surface mass balance model outputs).…”
