West Antarctic Peninsula grounding line location datasets supporting "Seasonal land-ice-flow variability in the Antarctic Peninsula"
Description
This dataset contains the location of the grounding line along George VI Ice Shelf (West Antarctic Peninsula), Wilkins Ice Shelf and Bach Ice Shelf (Alexander Island), as determined from a compilation of datasets, including double-differential interferometric synthetic aperture radar (DInSAR) from Sentinel-1 imagery acquired May-October 2020, Sentinel-1 grounding-line information from 2018 (Mohajerani et al., 2021) and the MEaSUREs 1994-1996 grounding line dataset (Rignot et al., 2016). The dataset is provided in ESRI Shapefile (.shp) format.
Format
Data are presented in EPSG:3031 Antarctic Polar Stereographic projection. Units are in meters. (Refer to: https://epsg.io/3031 for further information). Data can be read by most geographical information systems (e.g. QGIS, ESRI ArcGIS, GMT, etc.)
