Description
Summary:The project's goals are: To analyse radio echo sounding data acquired over the Greenland Ice Sheet by the University of Kansas / CReSIS team with the objective of discriminating between frozen and thawed conditions at the bed of the ice sheet. To provide maps of the bed state, with the aim of making them available via the National Snow and Ice Data Centre. To support ice sheet modelling activities by providing information on the bed state, thus related to the temperature at the bed and the rheological conditions at the bed. To make available to educational establishments information on the relevance and significance of the state of the major ice sheets and the Greenland Ice Sheet in particular
