These are digital optical televiewer logs of two boreholes drilled by hot water to 120 m (Site 1) and 160 m (Site 2) on Larsen C Ice Shelf, Antarctic Peninsula. Boreholes were drilled in December 2022 to investigate the internal properties of a suture zone (Site 1) and a meteoric ice band (Site 2) of an ice shelf, as part of the NERC-funded RiPIce (Rift Propagation for Ice sheet models) research project. NERC standard grant NE/T008016/1.

The datasets are temperature time series from fibre-optic strings installed into two boreholes on Larsen C Ice Shelf, Antarctic Peninsula. Boreholes were drilled in December 2022 to 160 m to investigate the internal properties of a suture zone (Site 1) and a meteoric ice band (Site 2) of an ice shelf, as part of the NERC-funded RiPIce (Rift Propagation for Ice sheet models) research project. NERC standard grant NE/T008016/1.

Magnitude and x and y components of surface speed on the Larsen C ice shelf, Antarctica. The datasets are annual means from 2015 to 2022 at a horizontal resolution of 100 m. The data are based on feature tracking of Sentinel 1 Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellite data. The velocities were created to support a NERC-funded project investigating ice-shelf rift propagation, by Prof. Adrian Luckman. NERC standard grant NE/T008016/1.

Magnitude and x and y components of surface speed on the Brunt ice shelf, Antarctica. The datasets are annual means from 2015 to 2022 at a horizontal resolution of 100 m. The data are based on feature tracking of Sentinel 1 Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellite data. The velocities were created to support a NERC-funded project investigating ice-shelf rift propagation, by Prof. Adrian Luckman. NERC standard grant NE/T008016/1.

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. Chris Stokes and Stewart Jamieson acknowledge funding from the UK Natural Environment Research Council grant NE/R000824/1.

The dataset consists of GPS data recorded from four sites close to Halley VI Research Station providing information on the width of an active rift propagating through the ice shelf. GPS sites advect with flow of the ice shelf. The data were collected as part of the Lifetime-of-Halley monitoring programme. This work was partially funded by NERC grant NE/X014991/1 (RIFT-TIP) and supported by NERC Antarctic Logistics and Infrastructure.

The dataset consists of GPS data recorded from four sites close to Halley VI Research Station, plus ApRES data across the rift from 2017-2019. Both data types provide information on the width of an active rift propagating through the ice shelf. GPS sites advect with flow of the ice shelf, while ApRES is repositioned each year. The data were collected as part of the Lifetime-of-Halley monitoring programme. This work was funded by NERC grant NE/X014991/1 (RIFT-TIP) and supported by NERC Antarctic Logistics and Infrastructure.

GPS data recorded from three sites close to the 2023 site of Halley VI Research Station. Data from site LL20 spans 2013 to 2017; Data from site ZZ6A spans 2017 to 2023; Data from site ZMET spans 2022 to 2023. The data are presented as RINEX observation files. The data were collected as part of the Lifetime-of-Halley monitoring programme. This work was funded by NERC grant NE/X014991/1 (RIFT-TIP) and supported by NERC Antarctic Logistics and Infrastructure.
