Glacier Motion/Ice Sheet Motion Data Access and Tools
Glacier and ice sheet motion data from NASA range from frequently updated optical instrument imagery to synthetic aperture radar data. Our datasets and tools help users find and integrate the data they need to analyze the speed, distance, and specific motion of glaciers and ice sheets.
