Greenland Outlet Glaciers

Caption

This elevation map of two outlet glaciers in Greenland is part of a set of maps created by researchers at The Ohio State University and the University of Minnesota. The researchers took Worldview satellite data and processed it with Ohio State software. The resulting maps, which made their debut at the American Geophysical Union meeting on Dec. 18, are the highest resolution elevation maps ever created of the study region, which so far covers part of Alaska and the Greenland Ice Sheet. Shown here are the outlet glaciers Sermeq Silardleq (middle top) and Kangigdleq (middle bottom).
