Deflation Patch Characteristics

Landscape position data for soil deflation landforms in West Greenland. Field measurements include scarp length, scarp height, and patch size. Elevation, aspect, slope, and distance to the Greenland Ice Sheet were calculated with imagery acquired from the Polar Geospatial Center. We calculated the p...

Description
Summary:Landscape position data for soil deflation landforms in West Greenland. Field measurements include scarp length, scarp height, and patch size. Elevation, aspect, slope, and distance to the Greenland Ice Sheet were calculated with imagery acquired from the Polar Geospatial Center. We calculated the patch expansion rate using the lichenometry dataset also available in this data package.
