Glacier dynamics

Multiple remote sensing techniques to unravel the ice velocity and thickness of the world's glaciers

Visualize the full dataset in 3D using this very cool interface at http://ige-vis.univ-grenoble-alpes.fr/glaciers/index.html (credit: Jean Baptiste Barré)

Download the dataset on the THEIA/SEDOO interface here

For more informations on the dataset see the description on the Glaciers SEC webpage. The main results of this project can be found here and more details about the methodology here.

We welcome comments on any issues. Please note that the dataset is in constant improvement with new satellite data being available, which enhances the spatial and temporal coverage of ice flow velocity.
