Movie ID Title
This sequence shows random dots indicating the locations of glaciers around the world on a transparent background. 3534 Global Glacier Locations designed for Science on a Sphere (SOS) and WMS
The mass changes of the Gulf of Alaska glaciers are computed from the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) inter-satellite rate data from April 2003 through September 2007. Using space-borne gravity measurements to assess glacier mass balance NASA scientists determine mass variations along the Gulf of Alaska, an area apanning 18,919 square miles. Areas of deep blue like the areas around Glacier Bay and the Yakutat Icefield represent significant mass loss where inland areas of dark gray represent slight mass gains. 3522 Recent Glacier Mass Changes in the Gulf of Alaska Region from GRACE Mascon Solutions
This animation shows the flow of the Jakobshavn glacier in 2000, followed by a time series of the glacier's retreat from 2001 through 2006. A colored line and date marks the position of the glacier's calving front each year. 3374 Jakobshavn Glacier Flow in the year 2000 and Calving Front Retreat from 2001 to 2006

Designed exclusively for playback on spherical projections surfaces, FROZEN introduces mainstream audiences to the cryosphere--places on Earth where the temperatures don't rise above water's freezing point. The following trailer showcases some of the visual themes contained in the movie and points to the film's main website.<p><p>This film has been prepared exclusively for playback on spherical projections systems. It will not appear in its proper format on a traditional computer or television screen.

Movie ID Title
This image of the Jakobshavn glacier on 07/07/2001 shows the changes in the glacier's calving front between 1851 and 2006. Historic calving front locations, 1851 through 1964, were compiled by Anker Weidick and Ole Bennike and are shown here in gray. Recent calving front locations, 2001 through 2006, derived from satellite imagery are show in colors. A distance scale is provided. 3395 Jakobshavn Glacier Calving Front Recession from 1850 to 2006
