Help on the Results MapX
This window can be dragged by its header, and can be resized from the bottom right corner.
Clicking the Layers button - the blue square in the top left of the Results Map - will display a list of map layers you can add or remove
from the currently displayed map view.
The Results Map and the Results Table
- The Results Map displays the centroids of the geographic bounds of all the results returned by the search.
- Results that are displayed in the current map view will be highlighted in blue and brought to the top of the Results Table.
- As the map is panned or zoomed, the highlighted rows in the table will update.
- If you click on a centroid on the map, it will turn yellow and display a popup with details for that project/dataset - including a link to the landing page. The bounds for the project(s)/dataset(s) selected will be displayed in red. The selected result(s) will be highlighted in red and brought to the top of the table.
- The default table sorting order is: Selected, Visible, Date (descending), but this can be changed by clicking on column headers in the table.
- Selecting Show on Map for an individual row will both display the geographic bounds for that result on a mini map, and also display the bounds and highlight the centroid on the Results Map.
- Clicking the 'Show boundaries' checkbox at the top of the Results Map will display all the bounds for the filtered results.
Defining a search area on the Results Map
- If you click on the Rectangle or Polygon icons in the top right of the Results Map, you can define a search area which will be added to any other search criteria already selected.
- After you have drawn a polygon, you can edit it using the Edit Geometry dropdown in the search form at the top.
- Clicking Clear in the map will clear any drawn polygon.
- Clicking Search in the map, or Search on the form will have the same effect.
- The returned results will be any projects/datasets with bounds that intersect the polygon.
- Use the Exclude project/datasets checkbox to exclude any projects/datasets that cover the whole Antarctic region.
Viewing map layers on the Results Map
To sort the table of search results, click the header of the column you wish to search by. To sort by multiple columns, hold down the shift key whilst selecting the sort columns in order.

This dataset contains the basal ice unit thickness as measured by the NSF COLDEX MARFA ice-penetrating radar survey, which mainly focuses on the southern flank of Dome A. The "basal ice unit" is hereby defined as the bottom portion of the ice sheet where no clear and traceable englacial reflection is detected by the radar sounder. Raw radar data can be found at: https://doi.org/10.15784/601768. The basal ice unit is mapped using the DecisionSpace Geosciences 10ep software package. This dataset provides three data products: <br/>• Thickness of the basal ice unit <br/>• Thickness of the stratigraphic ice unit above the basal ice unit <br/>• The shape of the basal ice unit boundary, where rapid basal ice unit thinning is observed in the middle of the South Pole Basin. | ["POLYGON((50 -84,55 -84,60 -84,65 -84,70 -84,75 -84,80 -84,85 -84,90 -84,95 -84,100 -84,100 -84.6,100 -85.2,100 -85.8,100 -86.4,100 -87,100 -87.6,100 -88.2,100 -88.8,100 -89.4,100 -90,95 -90,90 -90,85 -90,80 -90,75 -90,70 -90,65 -90,60 -90,55 -90,50 -90,50 -89.4,50 -88.8,50 -88.2,50 -87.6,50 -87,50 -86.4,50 -85.8,50 -85.2,50 -84.6,50 -84))"] | ["POINT(75 -87)"] | false | false |

This dataset constitutes the as-recorded echo data from the MARFA radar system.

The dataset contains radargrams from the 2004-2005 airborne radar sounding surveys on Pine Island Glacier and Thwaites Glacier as part of the BBAS and AGASEA projects. It also includes basal reflectivity and one-way attenuation rates derived from these radargrams. Radar data from the Pine Island Ice Shelf inland to the Bentley Sublglacial Trench were collected by the British Antarctica Survey (BAS) with the Polarimetric-radar Airborne Science INstrument (PASIN) radar sounder, operating at a center frequency of 150 MHz and 15 MHz bandwidth. Data over Thwaites Glacier were collected by the University of Texas Institute for Geophysics (UTIG) High Capability Airborne Radar Sounder (HiCARS) operating at a center frequency of 60 MHz with 15 MHz of bandwidth. Data are provided as 50km segments in NetCDF files, along with kml location files, and pdf files for browsing radargrams images by flight transect. Details of the processing methods are included in the associated README file. The processed data sets (reflectivity and attenuation) are provided as a single NetCDF file for each flight transect. Details of the calibration and processing procedures are provided in Chu, et al (in review). | ["POLYGON((-130 -72.9,-125.27 -72.9,-120.54 -72.9,-115.81 -72.9,-111.08 -72.9,-106.35 -72.9,-101.62 -72.9,-96.89 -72.9,-92.16 -72.9,-87.43 -72.9,-82.7 -72.9,-82.7 -73.76,-82.7 -74.62,-82.7 -75.48,-82.7 -76.34,-82.7 -77.2,-82.7 -78.06,-82.7 -78.92,-82.7 -79.78,-82.7 -80.64,-82.7 -81.5,-87.43 -81.5,-92.16 -81.5,-96.89 -81.5,-101.62 -81.5,-106.35 -81.5,-111.08 -81.5,-115.81 -81.5,-120.54 -81.5,-125.27 -81.5,-130 -81.5,-130 -80.64,-130 -79.78,-130 -78.92,-130 -78.06,-130 -77.2,-130 -76.34,-130 -75.48,-130 -74.62,-130 -73.76,-130 -72.9))"] | ["POINT(-106.35 -77.2)"] | false | false |

The International Collaborative Exploration of the Cryosphere though Airborne Profiling (ICECAP) collected five seasons of aerogeophysical data data through the NSFs International Polar Year and NASAs Operation Ice Bridge programs in East Antarctica, using the coherent HiCARS 60 MHz radar system. By comparing echo strengths for different focusing apertures, and accounting for the ranges and angles involved, we can derive the "specularity content" of the bed echo, a proxy for small scale bed roughness and a good indicator for subglacial water pressure in regions of distributed subglacial water (Schroeder et al., 2014, IEEE GRSL, 10.1109/LGRS.2014.2337878; IEEE; Dow et al., 2019, EPSL https://doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl.2019.115961). Specularity data are inherently noisy, so these products have been smoothed with a 1 km filter. | ["POLYGON((80 -65,89 -65,98 -65,107 -65,116 -65,125 -65,134 -65,143 -65,152 -65,161 -65,170 -65,170 -66.5,170 -68,170 -69.5,170 -71,170 -72.5,170 -74,170 -75.5,170 -77,170 -78.5,170 -80,161 -80,152 -80,143 -80,134 -80,125 -80,116 -80,107 -80,98 -80,89 -80,80 -80,80 -78.5,80 -77,80 -75.5,80 -74,80 -72.5,80 -71,80 -69.5,80 -68,80 -66.5,80 -65))"] | ["POINT(125 -72.5)"] | false | false |

It has total ice thickness, thickness of the LMI layer, strain induced thickness change, basal melt rates and the error estimate for basal melt rates. | ["POLYGON((-180 -77,-177 -77,-174 -77,-171 -77,-168 -77,-165 -77,-162 -77,-159 -77,-156 -77,-153 -77,-150 -77,-150 -77.9,-150 -78.8,-150 -79.7,-150 -80.6,-150 -81.5,-150 -82.4,-150 -83.3,-150 -84.2,-150 -85.1,-150 -86,-153 -86,-156 -86,-159 -86,-162 -86,-165 -86,-168 -86,-171 -86,-174 -86,-177 -86,180 -86,178.1 -86,176.2 -86,174.3 -86,172.4 -86,170.5 -86,168.6 -86,166.7 -86,164.8 -86,162.9 -86,161 -86,161 -85.1,161 -84.2,161 -83.3,161 -82.4,161 -81.5,161 -80.6,161 -79.7,161 -78.8,161 -77.9,161 -77,162.9 -77,164.8 -77,166.7 -77,168.6 -77,170.5 -77,172.4 -77,174.3 -77,176.2 -77,178.1 -77,-180 -77))"] | ["POINT(-174.5 -81.5)"] | false | false |
