Grounding line is the boundary between inland grounded ice sheet and floating ice shelf. The precise extraction of its location has a significant impact on the Antarctic ice sheet mass balance. Grounding line extraction method has been developed from in situ RES and GPS of small-scale to remote sensing measurements of large-scale. Four main techniques of remote sensing measurements, including hydrostatic equilibrium, slope analysis, repeated track analysis and differential SAR interferometry, lay the foundation of five released grounding line products of the whole Antarctica, named MOA, ASAID, ICESat, MEaSUREs and Synthesized grounding line product. With the development of remote sensing technology, multi-source remote sensing data will be used for grounding line extraction with high-precision, and its dynamic changes monitoring with longer temporal scale in whole Antarctica. Moreover, the change mechanism of the grounding line position coupled with bottom melt of ice shelf, bed topography and ocean temperature, and building models of its relationship with climate change will be future research hotpots.
