GreenlandGlacierNames_GGNv01

Place names in Greenland can be difficult to get right, as they are a mix of Greenlandic, Danish, and other foreign languages. In addition, orthographies have changed over time. With this new dataset, we give the researcher working with Greenlandic glaciers the proper tool to find the correct name for glaciers and ice caps in Greenland and to locate glaciers described in the historic literature with the old Greenlandic orthography. The dataset contains information on the names of 733 glaciers, 285 originating from the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) and 448 from local glaciers and ice caps (LGIC). http://www.the-cryosphere-discuss.net/9/1593/2015/tcd-9-1593-2015.pdf Current available version: V1.0 Dataset is available as: 1)Text file 2)ArcGIS shapefile 3)KML file格陵兰的地名往往难以准确规范，因其融合了格陵兰语、丹麦语及其他外语词汇，且正字法随时间推移发生过演变。 本数据集专为从事格陵兰冰川研究的学者提供了可靠工具，可用于查询格陵兰地区冰川与冰盖的标准名称，同时能够定位历史文献中采用旧格陵兰正字法记载的冰川。 本数据集涵盖733条冰川的名称信息，其中285条源自格陵兰冰盖（Greenland Ice Sheet, GrIS），剩余448条源自地方冰川与冰盖（local glaciers and ice caps, LGIC）。相关参考论文可参见：http://www.the-cryosphere-discuss.net/9/1593/2015/tcd-9-1593-2015.pdf 当前可用版本为V1.0。数据集支持以下三种格式获取：1）文本文件；2）ArcGIS shapefile；3）KML文件
