Multi-source glacier geometry and UAV datasets of Vernagtferner (Ötztal Alps, Austria)

This dataset contains geospatial data used in the study: “Understanding slow glacier flow under climate change: A case study on Vernagtferner, Austria”by Theresa Dobler, Wilfried Hagg, Martin Rückamp, Thorsten Seehaus, and Christoph Mayer https://doi.org/10.5194/egusphere-2025-2513 The datasets are the result of multiple previous other studies and measurement campaigns. They are provided here in an accessible form. The origin and futher information on the individual datasets are documented in Appendix A (Data overview) of the associated study. All data uses the EPSG: 32632 (UTM 32N) coordinate system and describes the galcier Vernagtferner, Ötztal Alps, Austria.
