The focus of the next IMBIE assessment will be on reconciling ice sheet mass trends at a regional
scale. To do this, we are aiming at producing reconciled time-series of mass changes for the 18
drainage basins of Antarctica and 7 sectors of Greenland (see details below).
You will be able to submit your mass balance estimate through our dedicated data portal. You will
be asked to select the experiment group to which you’d like to contribute, upload your dataset,
and answer a short questionnaire about your submission. Your dataset will be checked to make
sure that it complies with the standard data formats we have defined before you can proceed with
the final upload of your files. Please check the submission guide below to prepare your
submission.

Participation Conditions
To participate in IMBIE, you must contribute a unique data set that you or your team has created (Altimetry, Gravimetry, Mass Budget). You are only allowed to submit one dataset to each experimental group. The methods you employ and their errors must have been fully described in an international peer-reviewed journal or, in exceptional circumstances, in an accompanying document that will be subject to peer review by the IMBIE Executive Committee. You are also expected to play an active role in the exercise, remaining in timely correspondence with the project coordinators when required. The creators of any data incorporated into future IMBIE assessments will be consulted and involved throughout the whole process. We will endeavour to include all suitable data submitted into future publications.
