OpenPolarServer (OPS) - An Open Source Spatial Data Infrastructure for the Cryosphere Community
The Center for Remote Sensing of Ice Sheets (CReSIS) at The University of Kansas has collected approximately 700 TB of radar depth sounding data over the Arctic and Antarctic ice sheets since 1993 in an effort to map the thickness of the ice sheets and ultimately understand the impacts of climate ch...
