Research data supporting "Assessment of ice flow dynamics in the zone close to the calving front of Antarctic ice shelves"

This dataset contains plots for 22 Antarctic ice shelves. Plots show: MODIS visual imagery (Haran and others (2005)); ice-surface velocity (Rignot and others (2011)); along-flow strain rate; absolute transverse shear rate; ice speed, along-flow strain rate and mean strain rate sampled along flow line transect; along-flow strain rate, mean strain rate and standard deviation in strain rate along flow line transect.
