Description

This dataset contains ice cliff, pond, debris, glacier and crevasse zone outlines (as shapefiles) derived for the study 'Controls on Ice Cliff Distribution and Characteristics on Debris-Covered Glaciers'.

They were outlined from 14 Pléiades multi-spectral images (see Methods and tables in corresponding manuscript and SI) acquired at the dates indicated in the corresponding folder names.

The majority of the Pléiades stereo-pairs used were provided by Etienne Berthier via the Pléiades Glacier Observatory (PGO) initiative of the French Space Agency (CNES). The remaining images were acquired through the CNES ISIS Programme.
