Abstract:
Glaciers in the Russian High Arctic have been subject to large environmental changes due to global warming. Here we provide surface elevation change rates of most glaciers on Franz Josef Land, Severnaya Zemlya and Novaya Zemlya between 2010 and 2017.
The dataset includes glacier elevation change maps of glaciers of the Russian Arctic archipelagos (Franz Josef Land, Severnaya Zemlya & Novaya Zemlya) for the period winter 2010/11 to winter 2016/17. Elevation change rates (unit: m/a) are calculated from differencing interferometric Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) of the TanDEM-X satellite mission. Glacier areas are derived from the Randolph Glacier Inventory V6.0 (09_rgi60_RussianArctic). All elevation change maps are provided as GeoTiffs with a spatial resolution of 30m (EPSG:3995). Additionally, raster files with the observation period in years per cell are included.
