Description
This dataset contains the grounding-line and ice-velocity change observations presented in Christie et al. (Nature Communications, 2023). Data are provided in ESRI .shp (grounding line location and change records) and .TIF (ice velocity and change records) formats, and detailed information about the data collection methods, sources and other technical information can be found within the accompanying README files inside the .ZIP folder.
