  abstract = {{G}laciers distinct from the {G}reenland and {A}ntarctic ice sheets are currently losing mass rapidly with direct and severe impacts on the habitability of some regions on {E}arth as glacier meltwater contributes to sea-level rise and alters regional water resources in arid regions. {I}n this review, we present the different techniques developed during the last two decades to measure glacier mass change from space: digital elevation model ({DEM}) differencing from stereo-imagery and synthetic aperture radar interferometry, laser and radar altimetry and space gravimetry. {W}e illustrate their respective strengths and weaknesses to survey the mass change of a large {A}rctic ice body, the {V}atnajokull {I}ce {C}ap ({I}celand) and for the steep glaciers of the {E}verest area ({H}imalaya). {F}or entire regions, mass change estimates sometimes disagree when a similar technique is applied by different research groups. {A}t global scale, these discrepancies result in mass change estimates varying by 20%-30%. {O}ur review confirms the need for more thorough inter-comparison studies to understand the origin of these differences and to better constrain regional to global glacier mass changes and, ultimately, past and future glacier contribution to sea-level rise.},
