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.

Model output from a series of idealised ice shelf-ocean simulations, demonstrating a new synchronously coupled modelling method as well as the response of ice shelf buttressing to melt under various temperature forcings.

The output of a 40-year coupled ice-ocean run of Smith Glacier, the adjoining Dotson and Crosson ice shelves, and the nearby continental shelf, with ocean boundary conditions forced with a climatology downscaled from a regional model of the Amundsen Sea. Funding was provided by the NERC Standard Grant NE/M003590/1 - Is ice loss from West Antarctica driven by ocean forcing or ice and ocean feedbacks?

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.

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.

Seismic refraction data were acquired at two sites on Antarctica''s Larsen C Ice Shelf, in November 2017. The acquisition was performed to measure seismic anisotropy, a proxy for the stress condition, in the ice shelf following the calving of Iceberg A68 in July 2017. 2D seismic profiles were acquired at two sites: S1, close to the new calving front of the ice shelf, and S2, advected downstream from the site surveyed in the NERC funded project NE/E013414/1 (SOLIS). Profiles were rotated about a common midpoint to examine the variation in seismic properties with azimuth. Throughout, 24 geophones were deployed at 10 m offset, with data recorded at a Geometrics GEODE system; data are presented here in SEG-2 format. All acquisitions were performed by Dr Jim White (British Geological Survey) and Emma Pearce (University of Leeds, School of Earth and Environment), with support from BAS. The data is part of the NERC RACE project, NE/R012334/1.

Ground penetrating radar (GPR) data were acquired at a site on Antarctica''s Larsen C Ice Shelf, in November 2017. The acquisition was performed to measure radar anisotropy, a potential proxy for the stress condition in the upper ice shelf, following the calving of Iceberg A68 in July 2017. Two GPR common midpoint (CMP) gathers were acquired at Site S2, a site previously surveyed during the NERC funded NE/E013414/1 SOLIS project. These gathers were acquired first with GPR antennas extended in the flow-parallel direction (~ east), and then in the flow-orthogonal direction. The GPR system is a Sensors & Software pulseEKKO PRO, with 200 MHZ antennas. All acquisitions were performed by Dr Jim White (British Geological Survey) and Emma Pearce (University of Leeds, School of Earth and Environment), with support from BAS. The data is part of the NERC RACE project, NE/R012334/1.

Velocity maps were derived, for regions of Larsen C ice shelf, from satellite imagery spanning the period November 2017 to April 2019. This period was selected to monitor any change in the velocity field of Larsen C, in the months following the calving of iceberg A68 from the front of the ice shelf. The archive contains two sets of maps. The first are derived from Sentinel-1 satellite data, and span the complete ice shelf for the full 18-month epoch. The second are derived from TerraSAR-X data, and show high-resolution velocity trends between 2017 and 2018, covering the frontal region of Larsen C ice shelf. The maps were produced by Professor Adrian Luckman, Swansea University. The data is part of the NERC RACE project, NE/R012334/1.

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.
