Surface velocity of the Roi Baudouin Ice Shelf, East Antarctica, from SAR interferometry, link to GeoTIFFs

Antarctic ice shelves are buttressed by numerous pinning points attaching to the otherwise freely-floating ice from below. Some of these kilometric-scale grounded features are unresolved in Antarctic-wide datasets of ice thickness and bathymetry, hampering ice flow models to fully capture dynamics at the grounding line and upstream. We investigate the role of an 8.7 km² pinning point at the front of the Roi Baudouin Ice Shelf, East Antarctica. […]
