11 Μαΐ 2018 · Thanks to ESA’s CryoSat mission, a new map of Antarctica provides the most accurate 3D view ever of the continent’s vast ice sheet and floating ice shelves. This latest digital elevation model, which is available for download, is a result of research published recently in The Cryosphere.
18 Μαΐ 2024 · Free and open access to reliable data is extremely important in all areas of Antarctic work – for science, and all of the logistical work that underpins it. The new Antarctic Digital Database map viewer, focussed around Rothera Research Station.
This 3D map is the only one that shows Antarctica without ice. NASA built it with over 25 million observations and named it BEDMAP 2 . Knowing bedrock is the only way we can measure ice thickness, melting, and flow.
18 Αυγ 2021 · However, the new map not only allows for best customization, but also takes into account international principles and procedures for naming places in Antarctica, with identifiers given in both English and the national language.
Quantarctica (QGIS + Antarctica) was first developed for in-house use at the Norwegian Polar Institute, as a tool for our glaciologists. There was a need for a low or no cost complete GIS with essential datasets — ready-to-use, easy-to-use, functionality rich and with offline capabilities.
14 Μαΐ 2019 · Among the results being presented is a novel 3D dataset of Antarctica. Scientists from the University of Edinburgh, UK, created this new view by processing data from ESA’s CryoSat in a clever way. CryoSat carries a radar altimeter that measures the height of the world’s ice.
Antarctica is among the most poorly mapped places on Earth. So how is British Antarctic Survey’s mapping team expanding our knowledge of the world’s last great wilderness, and what can mapping teach us about how the continent is changing? In the UK, it’s easy to take maps for granted.
