Glacier Elevation/Ice Sheet Elevation


GCMD >> EARTH SCIENCE >> Cryosphere >> Glaciers/Ice Sheets >> Glacier Elevation/Ice Sheet Elevation
Movie ID Title
This sequence shows Arctic sea ice thickness derived from winter and fall campaigns from the ICESat satellite. Sea ice grows extent grows in the summer and shrinks in the winter. While the sea ice extent might look similar from year to year this thickness data shows dramatic thinning especially near the North Pole (shown in dark blue). This image was generated with data acquired between Feb 17 - Mar 21, 2008. 3593 Fall and Winter Arctic Sea Ice Thickness Declining Rapidly
This sequence shows Arctic sea ice thickness derived from fall campaigns from the ICESat satellite. While the sea ice extent might look similar from year to year this thickness data shows dramatic thinning especially near the North Pole (shown in dark blue). This image was generated with data acquired between Oct 4 - Oct 19, 2008. 3592 Fall Arctic Sea Ice Thickness Declining Rapidly

This image was generated with data acquired between Feb 17 - Mar 21, 2008. 3589 Winter Arctic Sea Ice Thickness Declining Rapidly
This image is the high resolution image of Antarctica shown using the Landsat Image Mosaic of Antarctica data. 3588 Landsat Image Mosaic of Antarctica Graphic
This image compares the size of the continental United States to the size of Antarctica. 3540 Compare the Size of Antarctica to the Continental United States
This is the Pine Island Glacier which is a broad glacier flowing WNW along the south side of the Hudson Mountains into Pine Island Bay, Amundsen Sea. 3538 Landsat Image Mosaic of Antarctica Flyover of Pine Island Glacier
This is the same animation without the text overlays. This image shows Sulzberger Bay and the Sulzberger Ice Shelf which was first discovered in 1929 by the Byrd Antarctic Expedition. 3537 Landsat Image Mosaic of Antarctica Flyover of Western Antarctica
Full animation with labels - McMurdo Station is a science research center operated by the United States. New Zealand's science station, Scott Base, is located just 5 km away from McMurdo Station. Ross Island is surrounded by floating ice called the Ross Ice Shelf and the McMurdo Ice Shelf. 3482 Landsat Image Mosaic of Antarctica Flyover of McMurdo Station and Dry Valleys
This image shows changes in the elevation over the Greenland ice sheet as colors displayed over topography of Greenland measured by ICESat. 3460 Change in Elevation over Greenland with Alternate Color Scale
This image portrays changes in the elevation over the Greenland ice sheet onto topography of Greenland measured by ICESat. 3455 Nadir View of Change in Elevation over Greenland with a Blue/Yellow Color Scale
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. When pulling away from Greenland, a colored overlay shows the changes in the ice sheet elevation between 2003 and 2006. 3434 Updated Jakobshavn Glacier Calving Front Retreat from 2001 through 2006
High resolution LIMA data (15 meters per pixel) of the area where Ross Island meets the Ross Ice Shelf. 3418 Sample LIMA Data versus MOA Data of Ross Island
High resolution LIMA data (15 meters per pixel) of the area immediately surrounding McMurdo Station. If you look really close in the foreground, McMurdo Station can be seen as a few white dots on the open rocky outcrop of Ross Island's peninsula. The straight lines in the lower left corner of the picture are runways. 3417 Sample LIMA Data versus MOA Data of McMurdo Station
High resolution LIMA data (15 meters per pixel) of the area surround McMurdo Station. 3416 Sample LIMA Data versus MOA Data of the Area Surrounding McMurdo Station
High resolution LIMA data (15 meters per pixel) centered over Koettlitz Glacier. 3415 Sample LIMA Data versus MOA Data of Koettlitz Glacier
High resolution LIMA data (15 meters per pixel) centered over Ferrar Glacier. 3414 Sample LIMA Data versus MOA Data of Ferrar Glacier
This image portrays changes in the elevation over the Greenland ice sheet onto topography of Greenland measured by ICESat. 3410 Change in Elevation over Greenland
ICESat elevation data taken on June 2, 2006 is shown in orange. The underlying gray 'shadow' corresponds to where the elevation data lies on the surface. The underlying MODIS data is a 3 day average taken in the month of December 2005. 3403 Antarctic Plumbing: Lake Englehardt's Subglacial Hydraulic System
This animation illustrates the dynamics of the network of subglacial lakes far beneath the ice streams of Antarctica. 10108 Antarctic Sub-glacial Lakes
