Glacier Atlas

The controls on ice flow vary dramatically over space. Satellite imagery, InSAR derived velocities, and radar derived topographies can often provide valuable insight into the forces controlling the Antarctic and Greenland Ice Sheets. Select a glacier below to get a sense for its local features. [Data Citations found below]
