Abstract:
A new, third, glacier inventory (GI3) is presented for North Tyrol, which is based on Airborne Laser Scanning for the year 2006. 447 glaciers covering 235 km**2 are included. 4 small, formerly neglected glaciers have been added. Basic quantities such as size, maximum, minimum and median elevation show large variances. Very recent glacier changes between the former inventory (GI2: 1998) and GI3 show a strong reduction in area (-8%) and mean thickness (-7 m). An asymmetry of mean maximum, minimum and median elevation is quantified with approximately 200 m higher values for south-exposed glaciers. Rates of changes are around 1% per year and 1 m per year between GI2 and GI3. The strongest volume losses occurred for glaciers between 5 and 10 km**2.

Median Latitude: 46.995171 * Median Longitude: 11.388774 * South-bound Latitude: 46.771179 * West-bound Longitude: 10.135692 * North-bound Latitude: 47.222715 * East-bound Longitude: 13.043752
Comment:
The shape files of the glacier margins included in this data repository (see other version link) have been derived from shaded reliefs and volume changes between the third and the second glacier inventory. See "other version" link for the shape files. See also Stocker-Waldhuber, M et al. (2012): The glacier inventory of the Eastern Alps, Austria, 2007/2009, doi:10.1594/PANGAEA.806713.
