We are in the process of migrating all NASA Earth science data sites into Earthdata from now until end of 2026. Not all NASA Earth science data and resources will appear here until then. Thank you for your patience as we make this transition.Read about the Web Unification Project
Description
This data set, part of the NASA Making Earth System Data Records for Use in Research Environments (MEaSUREs) program, provides comprehensive high-resolution mapping of grounding lines in Antarctica from February 1992 through November 2025. The data were derived by applying differential satellite synthetic aperture radar (SAR) interferometry (DInSAR) to SAR data acquired by various space-based platforms.
Citation is critically important for dataset documentation and discovery. This dataset is openly shared, without restriction, in accordance with the EOSDIS Data Use and Citation Guidance.
