Thwaites Glacier ice surface elevation profiles from June 2011 to November 2020

Thwaites Glacier, West Antarctica. A time series of 156 profiles of ice surface elevation along a flowline based on the mean flow direction. The flowline passes through a region of large elevation change that took place between 2014 and 2017.

The work was funded by NERC projects NE/P011365/1 and NE/S006605/1.
