Abstract:
This dataset represents the first ice thickness measurements at Glacier Schiaparelli in Cordillera Darwin, Southern Chile. Data were collected in April 2016 using a ground-penetrating radar (http://www.unmannedindustrial.com/sites/default/files/GPR.pdf) in the ablation area of the glacier. The ASCII file contains 5 columns with the geographical position, elevation and ice thickness interpreted from the radar data. The coordinates (WGS84/UTM 19S) were recorded using a navigator which is integrated to the radar system. The field campaign and the measurements were part of CONICYT-BMBF project GABY-VASA "Responses of Glaciers, Biosphere and Hydrology to Climate Variability across the Southern Andes".
