This dataset contains the grounding-line and ice-velocity change observations presented in Christie et al. (Nature Communications, 2023). Data are provided in ESRI .shp (grounding line location and change records) and .TIF (ice velocity and change records) formats, and detailed information about the data collection methods, sources and other technical information can be found within the accompanying README files inside the .ZIP folder. This study was supported by a Carnegie Trust for the Universities of Scotland Carnegie PhD Scholarship (to F.D.W.C.), hosted in the Edinburgh E3 U.K. Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) Doctoral Training Partnership (NE/L002558/1) and the Scottish Alliance for Geoscience, Environment and Society (SAGES) Graduate School. The study was also produced with the financial assistance of the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation (to F.D.W.C.), the NERC / U.S National Science Foundation (NSF) International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration grants NE/S006613 (ITGC-GHOST; to R.G.B.) and NE/S006796 (ITGC-PROPHET; to N.G.) (ITGC contribution no. ITGC-088), NERC grant NE/T001607/1 (QuORUM project to N.G. and S.F.B.T.), the ESA 4D Antarctica and Digital Twin Antarctica projects 4000128611/19/I‐DT (to N.G.), and NSF grant 2045075 (to E.J.S.).
