QFuego-Patagonia v1: a comprehensive glacier-related dataset for Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego, South America
Data Publisher for Earth & Environmental Science
We present QFuego-Patagonia v1 (https://qfuego-patagonia.org/), a free glacier-related geographical information system (GIS) package covering Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego. It includes essential geospatial glacier data across five disciplines (Glaciology, Geophysics, Atmosphere, Bathymetry, and Glacial Geology and Geomorphology). Our goal is to foster interdisciplinary research and collaboration, enhancing our understanding of glacier dynamics and their broader climate implications. Future plans involve integrating other disciplines and creating consensus estimates for specific fields. This initiative aims to establish an advanced glacier data repository, summarizing knowledge and supporting high-quality research emergence.

File descriptions: The first version of the QFuego-Patagonia v1 includes five glacier-related disciplines in a GIS environment. All data layers are stored with a folder-tree structure so that individual data files and associated metadata can be easily found. The GIS package is composed of 135 layers from 4 disciplines and 26 basemap layers. The size of the compressed package is ~4GB and the uncompressed size of the dataset is about ~29GB. Further funding: * MAGIC and ITERATE, Award: (FU1032/5-1, BR2105/28- 357 1, FU1032/12-1)
