Frontal ablation of Svalbard tidewater glaciers

This dataset contains annually averaged ice surface velocity and thickness for all 202 tidewater glacier fronts on Svalbard, dating from 2012 to 2021. This is combined with mapping of front position changes to derive annual ice mass rates for retreat/advance, ice flux (discharge) and total frontal a...

Description
Summary:This dataset contains annually averaged ice surface velocity and thickness for all 202 tidewater glacier fronts on Svalbard, dating from 2012 to 2021. This is combined with mapping of front position changes to derive annual ice mass rates for retreat/advance, ice flux (discharge) and total frontal ablation.
