Automated Greenland Glacier Termini Position Time Series, Version 1

This data set contains shapefiles of termini traces from 294 Greenland glaciers, derived using a deep learning algorithm (AutoTerm) applied to satellite imagery. The model functions as a pipeline, imputing publicly availably satellite imagery from Google Earth Engine (GEE) and outputting shapefiles of glacial termini positions for each image. Also available are supplementary data, including temporal coverage of termini traces, time series data of termini variations, and updated land, ocean, and ice masks derived from the Greenland Ice Sheet Mapping Project (GrIMP) ice masks.
