Abstract:
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.
