Description: Internationally collected, standardized dataset on glacier thickness from in-situ and remotely sensed observations, based on data submissions, literature review and airborne data from NASA’s Operation IceBridge.
GlaThiDa is a contribution to the working group on “Glacier ice thickness estimation” (http://www.cryosphericsciences.org/wg_glacierIceThickEst.html), which was formed under the auspices of the International Association of Cryospheric Sciences (IACS). The working group, lead by Daniel Farinotti, Liss Marie Andreassen and Huilin Li, will ensure the continuation and expansion of GlaThiDa.
Spatial coverage: global
Temporal coverage: 1955-2015 AD
