Do you need data for a (e.g., Himalayas, Andes)?
🏔️ Glacier data is often provided in WGS84, but for accurate area measurements, you must reproject the files into a local UTM zone or an equal-area projection.
If you need observational data rather than just outlines, the WGMS is the gold standard. It collects standardized observations on glacier mass balance and length changes.
Provides incredibly precise ice surface elevation data using photon-counting LIDAR.
