- 1. Indian Institute of Technology Bombay
Description
The glacier ice thickness distribution data provided here was generated using an optimally parameterized GlabTop2_IITB [Glacier Bed Topography Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IITB) version] model with high-resolution DEM as an input. This research work is under publication in the Journal of Mountain Science. The study reports modeled ice thickness distribution and total ice volume of selected 65 glaciers (>0.5 km2) of Chandra basin, located in Western Himalayas.
