This dataset refers to:
Area, volume and ELA changes of West Greenland local glaciers and ice caps over the last 35 yearsSecuro Andrea, Del Gobbo Costanza, Citterio Michele, Machguth Horst, Marcer Marco, Korsgaard Niels J., Colucci Renato R.
This study analyses the cumulative area, ice mass and Equilibrium Line Altitude changes that occurred on more than 4000 glaciers and ice caps in West Greenland (outside of the Greenland Ice Sheet) from 1985 to 2020, using remotely sensed data and including glaciers smaller than 1 km2 in the calculations.
This dataset contains:
1_Area_1985_2020.csv - Comma Separated Value file with the following data for all Glaciers and ice caps involved in the study:Area Loss from 1985 to 2020 (km2), Total Area of 1985 (km2), Relative Area Loss from 1985 to 2020 (%), Longitude, Latitude
2_Area_Loss_1985_2020.gpkg - Geopackage file contanining the same information as (1.) but including the centroids positions. EPSG 4326 WGS84
3_Volume_and_ELA_1985_2020.csv - Comma Separated Value file with the following data for all Glaciers and ice caps involved in the study: GLIMS Glacier ID, minimum elevation (m a.s.l.), mean elevation (m a.s.l.), maximum elevation (m a.s.l.), Surface elevation change 1985-Present (m), Glacier Area from RGI (km2), Ice Mass Loss (Gt), 1985 mean ice thickness from Millan and others (m), Relative volume loss from 1985 to Present (%), Longitude, Latitude, Equilibrium Line Altitude* (m)
4_Volume_and_ELA_1985_2020.gpkg - Geopackage file contanining the same information as (3.) but including the centroids positions. EPSG 4326 WGS84
* note that not all glaciers and ice caps have ELA value for present.
