Greenland


GCMD >> Location >> Greenland
Movie ID Title
This animation shows a time-lapse sequence of the glaciers ice flow. This animation shows only a small section of the full imagery. The full imagery can be found in the frames area. 3141 Jakobshavn Glacier Ice Flow (WMS)
This animation shows the retreat of Jakobshavn glacier in Greenland from 2001 through 2003. 3140 Jakobshavn Glacier Retreat (WMS)
Print resolution image showing the retreating front over the past 150 years. 3055 History of Jakobshavn Glacier Recession
As the Jakobshavn Glacier discharges ice from its mouth, tributary ice streams show signs of acceleration. This series of Landsat images from 2002 shows rapid migration of ice features downstream, triggering adjacent land ice to accelerate downslope. A sequence of 7 Landsat images cycles at the end of the animation repeatedly to better see the flow. 3054 Jakobshavn Glacial Floe
Print resolution image showing the retreat of Jakobshavns calving front from 2001 to 2003. 3053 Jakobshavn Glacier Calving Front Recession (2001-2003)

Airplane collecting ice thickness data over Greenland 580 Greenland: Airplane Animation Revealing Ice Change
Nearly every spring since 1991, researchers including William Krabill of NASA's Wallops Flight Facility in Wallops Island, Va., have flown on a NASA aircraft over Greenland, collecting measurements of ice thickness from an altitude of about 2,000 feet. Now, on March 30, Krabill and colleagures return to collect updated measurements. This time, however, the mission is set to be more extensive than ever before, and takes place with new urgency. Radars and lasers new to the Greenland flights will be tested and calibrated with meaturements currently made from the Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite (ICESat). Launched in January 2003, ICESat is already more than six years beyond its three-year design lifetime and should it come to an end, the NASA aircraft will be ready to bridge the gap until the launch of ICESat-II, planned for launch no earlier than 2014.<p><p><p>For complete transcript, click <a href='GreenlandIceFlights_transcript.htm'>here</a>. 10414 Greenland Ice Flights
