Ice thickness measurements near the margin of the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) are relatively sparse, presenting issues for modeling ice-flow dynamics, ice-sheet change, and subglacial hydrology. We acquired near-margin ice thickness data at Leverett Glacier, west Greenland, using a highly portable, l...
