Glacier front positions (2001-2016)

Description

Glacier front positions were digitized using an archive of Landsat imagery (Landsat 7 ETM and Landsat 8) from 2001-2016. Imagery was used for identifying the Pine Island Glacier front when cloud cover did not obscure the main trunk position.

This dataset was created by Jonathan Lee (BAS) in QGIS for the iSTAR project on 07/03/2017.
