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 : Sentinel 1A and 1B SAR Single Look Complex (SLC) images were geocoded using orbit vector data and the 30 m MEaSUREs Greenland Ice Mapping Project (GIMP) Digital Elevation Model. Gamma Remote Sensing software was used to do all data processing.
