New data set release: High Mountain Asia Gridded Glacier Thickness Change from Multi-Sensor DEMs

The High Mountain Asia Gridded Glacier Thickness Change from Multi-Sensor DEMs, Version 1 data set is now available at the NASA National Snow and Ice Data Center Distributed Active Archive Center (NSIDC DAAC). This data set contains gridded thickness changes for approximately 650 Himalayan glaciers between 1975 and 2000, and 1040 Himalayan glaciers between 2000 and 2016. The data were derived from HEXAGON KH-9 and ASTER digital elevation models (DEMs). This data set is available as part of an early release. Minimal documentation is currently available. An increased Level of Service and more detailed documentation will be available in the future.
