The 2012 team consisted of 47 scientists from 26 separate institutions and 7 different countries. The team consisted of expertise in radar and laser altimetry, gravimetry, the input-output method, glacial isostatic adjustment and surface mass balance modelling, glaciology, and ice sheet modelling. The project was co-led by Professor Andrew Shepherd and Dr Erik Ivins.
