Animation of Thwaites Glacier ice base and surface elevation profiles from June 2011 to November 2020

Thwaites Glacier, West Antarctica. An animated time series plot of 64 profiles of ice base and surface elevation along a flowline based on the mean flow direction. The flowline passes through a region of large elevation change that took place between 2014 and 2017.

The work was funded by NERC projects NE/P011365/1 and NE/S006605/1
