Terminus Positions and Flowlines of Vincennes Bay Outlet Glaciers, East Antarctica, 1963-2022
The dataset contains terminus positions and flowlines of the Vincennes Bay Outlet Glaciers, for the years 1963-2022. These are provided as shapefiles, associated with a paper submitted to The Cryosphere entitled Extensive and anomalous grounding line retreat at Vanderford Glacier, Vincennes Bay, Wilkes Land, East Antarctica (Picton et al., 2023). The dataset is divided into three separate folders: (i) flowlines, (ii) sampling boxes, and (iii) terminus positions. The flowlines and sampling boxes, shown in Figure 1B (Picton et al., 2023), were used to facilitate data collection. The terminus positions represent annual terminus positions manually digitised from satellite imagery. Flowlines, sampling boxes and terminus positions are provided for each of the Vincennes Bay outlet glaciers:
Vanderford, Adams, Anzac, Bond East, Bond West, and Underwood.
