In a new report NVE presents results from measurements of Norwegian glaciers in 2023. The report describes measurements of glacier mass balance and glacier front variations. There is also information about measurement of glacier movement, jøkulhlaups and meteorological measurements at some glaciers. The last chapter of the report deals with safety and exercises regarding fieldwork on glaciers. Since the early 1960s, this report series has been published in print. Now the report is only available as a digital version.

In a new report NVE presents results from measurements of Norwegian glaciers in 2022. The report describes measurements of glacier mass balance and glacier front variations. There is also information about measurement of glacier movement, jøkulhlaups and meteorological measurements at some glaciers. The last chapter of the report deals with the anniversary of 60 years of measurements of Norwegian glaciers in NVE. Since the early 1960s, this report series has been published in print. As of this edition, the report will only be available as a digital version.

In a new report NVE presents results from measurements of Norwegian glaciers in 2021. The report describes measurements of glacier mass balance and glacier length changes. There is also information about measurement of glacier movement, jøkulhlaups and meteorological measurements at some glaciers. The last chapter of the report deals with historic photo documentation of glaciers over the period 1949-1979.

In a new report NVE presents results from measurements of Norwegian glaciers in 2020. The report describes measurements of glacier mass balance and glacier length changes. There is also information about measurement of glacier movement, jøkulhlaups and meteorological measurements at some glaciers.

A data package of subglacial pressure data and other related data from the Svartisen area is now available.

Two new reports from NVE present mapping of glacier lakes and surface velocities using Sentinel-2 satellite imagery over the period 2015-2018.

Scientist in several Nordic countries have been working together over the past five years to understand how quickly glaciers can change and how this can affect sea level rise. Improved data on the melting of Norwegian glaciers is just one of the results now that the project has finished.

The 2014 report, the 'Inventory of glacier-related hazardous events in Norway', records all knows hazardous-events, mainly jøkulhlaups (GLOFs), ice avalanches, glacier length changes, and mountaineering accidents. These events can have significant impacts, and cause a threat to human life.
