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.
The latest (development) version of GlaThiDa is available from GitLab. Since the data may contain errors, we strongly suggest performing quality checks and, in case of ambiguities, to contact us as well as the original investigators and agencies. Bug reports, data submissions, and other issues should be posted to the issue tracker at https://gitlab.com/wgms/glathida/-/issues.
GlaThiDa is a contribution to the working group on “Glacier ice thickness estimation“, which was formed under the auspices of the International Association of Cryospheric Sciences (IACS).
