GreenlandGlacierNames_GGNv01

Place names in Greenland can be difficult to get right, as it is a big mix of Greenlandic, Danish, and other foreign languages. On top of that orthographies have changed through time. With this new dataset we give the researcher working with Greenlandic glaciers the proper tool to finding the correct name for glaciers and ice caps in Greenland, as well as to locate glaciers described in the historic literature with the old Greenlandic orthography. The dataset contains information of glacier names of 733 glaciers; 285 originating from the Greenland Ice Sheet and 448 from local glaciers and ice caps. http://www.the-cryosphere-discuss.net/9/1593/2015/tcd-9-1593-2015.pdf格陵兰地名往往难以准确规范使用，因其名称融合了格陵兰语、丹麦语及其他外语，加之正字法随时间推移发生过演变。本数据集专为研究格陵兰冰川的学者打造了专业工具，可用于检索格陵兰冰川与冰盖的标准名称，同时支持对采用旧式格陵兰语正字法的历史文献中记载的冰川进行定位。本数据集涵盖733处冰川的名称信息，其中285处源自格陵兰冰原，448处来自地方性冰川与冰盖。相关详情可参考：http://www.the-cryosphere-discuss.net/9/1593/2015/tcd-9-1593-2015.pdf
