Collaborative Research: Elevation Change Anomalies in West Antarctica - Do They Provide Constraints on Subglacial Water Transport Beneath Ice Streams and Their Tributaries
Entry ID:
636719
Summary
Abstract:
This data set includes information derived from ICESat altimetry for Antarctic subglacial lakes. These lakes were identified based on elevation changes observed from ICESat. For each lake we provide estimates of the lake boundary, as well as gridded elevation and volume changes.
Purpose: These data enable analysis of small-scale changes in ice sheet elevaiton which reflect the motion of subglacial water. These data illustrate the motion of subglacial water under the ice sheet which provides information about subglacial hydrology and how its patterns vary in time.

The recognized phyla in the Register are as listed below (for the time
being multicellular animals only). Phyla that have been (partly) incorporated in the database part of the Register are highlighted. For these phyla there are separate classification pages which include common names and go down to the family level; taxa for ... 
Access Constraints
It is IOC's plan to make copies of the final product available free of
charge to developing countries, as well as the other partners's intention to provide each user with scientific and technical assistance on how to best use the Register. None
Use Constraints
Of course copyright cannot be claimed for scientific names and
references, nor to lists of these, and not even for basic descriptions. However, we reserve the copyright for the Unesco-IOC Register of Marine Organisms as far as this is legally possible. This is not because we want to restrict its use but ... Ancillary Keywords
