Geothermal heat source estimations through ice flow modelling at Mýrdalsjökull, Iceland - Datasets

This repository contains data used in the study "Geothermal heat source estimations through ice flow modelling atMýrdalsjökull, Iceland", to be published in The Cryosphere. A detailed reference will be added after publication.

Details on processing of the data and the creation of the simulated data can be found in the aforementioned publication.

Data Specifications:

Cartographic projection: ISN93 / Lambert 1993 (EPSG:3057, https://epsg.io/3057)

Origin of Elevation: meters above GRS80 ellipsoid (WGS84)

Raster data format: GeoTIFF

Pléiades dataset includes only DEMs because the Pléiades ortho imagery is for licensed use only. Please contact the authors for further information on this.

File descriptions:

bedrock_Magnusson_etal_2021.tif: contains bedrock data published by Magnússon et al. 2021 for the simulation domain used in the paper. See reference below.

surface_27092016_pleiades.tif: contains glacier surface data from September 27th, 2016 which is used as a starting geometry for the simulations described in the paper. This data is based on Pléiades satellite images.

surface_01092017_pleiades.tif: contains glacier surface data from September 1st, 2017 which is used as a reference target geometry for the simulations described in the paper. This data is based on Pléiades satellite images.

HM_run04.tif: contains the best fitting simulation based surface which was compared to surface_01092017_pleiades.tif in the paper.
