Ice front positions for Kangerdlugssuaq Glacier, Greenland, based on digitisation of satellite images between 1985 to 2018. Funding: The data have been collected over many years. Most recent project funding is NERC project CALISMO NE/P011365/1.
-
A time series of the mean surface elevation along a transect across Kangerdlugssuaq Glacier from Feb 2012 to May 2018. Funding: Data were processed under NERC project CALISMO NE/P011365/1. Data were acquired under NERC project NE/I007148/1. Data were supplied by DLR.

Surface speeds for a point close to the front of Kangerdlugssuaq Glacier based on satellite image feature tracking from 1985 to 2018. Funding: The data have been collected over many years. Most recent project funding is NERC project CALISMO NE/P011365/1.

A geodatabase of 186 published Quaternary marine and terrestrial dates relating to the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) glaciation and ice retreat, which capture the dynamics and retreat of the Antarctic Peninsula Ice Sheet (APIS).

Thwaites Glacier, West Antarctica. An animated time series plot of 64 profiles of ice base and 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

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.

The dataset encompasses the processed point clouds (.pts format), a panoramic tour, and a video flythrough of registered point clouds capturing a 273 m long reach of the englacial portal channel in the glacier, Austre Broggerbreen, Svalbard, in March 2017. Point clouds were derived from 27 Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS) surveys, to characterise the morphology of the channel in three-dimensions and enable extraction of features reflective of hydrological flow conditions. The panoramic tour shows a greyscale image of the scan reflectivity values at each survey location, whereby the lighter the pixel colour, the greater the intensity of the laser beam return. This panoramic tour enables the viewer to self-navigate through the channel to see the morphological features within it. The video flythrough of the point cloud provides a visualisation of the point cloud data, travelling from the portal exit to the extent of the scanned reach. The point cloud has been coloured to reflect differences in height above the portal exit. Funding source Knowledge Economy Skills Scholarship (KESS II) under Project AU10003, a pan-Wales higher-level skills initiative led by Bangor University of behalf of the HE sector in Wales. It is part funded by the Welsh Government''s European Social Fund (ESF) convergence programme for West Wales and the Valleys. Funding was awarded to TDLI-F and JEK, with support from Deri Jones & Associates Ltd. Additional support is acknowledged from Aberystwyth University (Department of Geography and Earth Sciences).

A time series of surface elevation at a point on Thwaites Glacier, West Antarctica. The point is on grounded ice and is upstream of a sub-shelf cavity on the west flank of the fast-moving core of Thwaites Glacier. There are a total of 88 points. First column = yyyy-mm-dd, second column = elevation in metres. The work was funded by NERC projects NE/P011365/1 and NE/S006605/1.

The dataset encompasses the processed point clouds (.pts format), a panoramic tour, and a video flythrough of registered point clouds capturing a 122 m long reach of an englacial cut-and-closure channel in the glacier, Austre Broggerbreen, Svalbard, in March 2016. Point clouds were derived from 28 Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS) surveys, to characterise the morphology of the channel in three-dimensions and enable extraction of features reflective of hydrological flow conditions. The panoramic tour shows a greyscale image of the scan reflectivity values at each survey location, whereby the lighter the pixel colour, the greater the intensity of the laser beam return. This panoramic tour enables the viewer to self-navigate through the channel to see the morphological features within it. The video flythrough of the point cloud provides a visualisation of the point cloud data, travelling from the glacier surface, down the moulin and along the extent of the scanned reach. The point cloud has been coloured to reflect differences in height.

This is an animated GIF of the calving front of Kangerdlugssuaq Glacier, Greenland. The images are based on Sentinel 1A and 1B Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data. The time series lasts from 14/06/2015 to 01/11/2018 and contains 245 images. The images are 24 km by 18 km, centred on 68.58 degrees N, 32.85 degrees W. Spatial resolution is approximately 30 m. Funding was provided by the NERC grant NE/P011365/1 CALISMO.
