Greenland: East Coast Zoom-down With Ice Data
The largest decrease in ice elevation occurred on Greenland's east coast. Dark blue indicates the area of largest ice loss. This animation is match-moved to animation #585 and the reverse of #588.
Zoom-down to the east coast of Greenland showing changes in ice thickness from 1993-1994 to 1998-1999 as measured by the Airborne Topographic Mapper
Colorbar for ice change data
Video slate image reads, "Greenland Ice Changes (GIC 7)
Zoom down to Greenland's east coast centering on area where laser altimeter data shows the largest decrease in ice elevation over the past year. (Blue indicates elevation decreases, where orange/red indicate elevation increases.)".
