GLIMS Global Land Ice Measurements from Space – Antarctic Peninsula
Description of the project:
The international project "Global Land Ice Measurements from Space" (GLIMS) establishes a complete remote sensing based inventory of the glaciers of the world. Glacial changes are indicators of changes in regional and global climate. GLIMS' mission to establish a global inventory of ice will provide the community with data for later comparison. Monitoring glaciers across the globe and understanding not only the cause of those changes, but the effects, will lead us to a greater understanding of global change and its causes. IPG Freiburg is the Regional Center for the Antarctic Peninsula within GLIMS.
