These files contain ground penetrating radar (GPR) data collected from the glacier margins and forelands of Falljökull and of Kvíárjökull, south-east Iceland, between 2012 and 2014. The data were collected using a Sensors and Software PulseEKKO Pro GPR system. For each glacier the data are stored in folders that indicate the month and year in which the surveys were conducted. Each GPR profile has a Sensors and Software GPR (.DT1) file, and associated header (.HD) and GPS (.GPS) files. The .HD files (which can be opened as text files) give the parameters and equipment used for each profile. GPS files are not available for some of the profiles collected on Falljökull in April 2013 (due to damage that occurred to the GPS linked with the PulseEKKO Pro system).

- Statement
- Ground penetrating radar (GPR) surveys were carried out using a Sensors and Software PuluseEKKO Pro system with 50 MHz and 100 MHz antennae on the glacier margin and the foreland of Falljökull in April and September 2012 and in April 2013. Surveys were carried out on the glacier margin and foreland of Kvíárjökull in late August and early September 2014.
