Data from: Dynamic ice loss from the Greenland Ice Sheet driven by sustained glacier retreat ...
Here we share remotely-sensed Greenland outlet glacier data for 234 individual glaciers. Data include observations of mena monthly discharge (ice volume flux exported by the glacier), front position changes, velocity, and ice thickness for the 1985-2018 period. Data will be periodically updated as n...
