Recent Data

  1. Ice sheet monitoring GPS data around the Jang Bogo Station in 2023

    Remotely operating GPS station data for the investigation of the behaviour of ice sheet in the Campbell Glacier

  2. ApRES (Autonomous phase-sensitive Radio Echo Sounder) data in Nansen Ice Shelf in 2024

    ApRES (Autonomous phase-sensitive Radar Echo Sounder) measures the radar reflection signal from the internal and basal interface of ice shelf. The radar return signals are used to estimate the basal melt rate under ice shelves. In early 2025, we recovered the raw data for about 1 month from 2 stations near the grounding line of Nansen Ice Shelf.

  3. 2021/22 season Korean Route Traverse (D2-EM) based GNSS data

    GOAL ○ Development of Korean route and infrastructure such as research camp to approach the Antarctic inland ○ Establishment of a support system for the Antarctic inland research RESEARCH CONTENTS ○ A safe and reliable route expedition to the sites of the Subglacial Lake and Deep Ice Core drilling for Antarctic inland research ○ Construction of logistic camps at the sites of the Subglacial Lake and Deep Ice Core drilling for Antarctic inland research

Popular Data

  1. Bulk parameters (TOC, Ntot, Norg, d13C, 14C, Mean grain size, sorting) for surface sediment samples in Svalbard fjords

    To identify the sources of sedimentary OC in Svalbard fjords using geochemical parameters

  2. New Catalogue of Thwaites Glacier Subglacial Lakes and Their Activity Revealed by CryoSat-2 Altimetry

    This dataset presents a new catalogue of active subglacial lakes beneath Thwaites Glacier, West Antarctica, identified using CryoSat-2 satellite radar altimetry. It details the boundaries, areas, and elevation changes of each lake, complete with 95% confidence intervals. The dataset also contains estimates of ice speed changes in the TG's grounding zone. For citation purposes, refer to the article by B-H Kim, C-K Lee*, K-W Seo, W S Lee, and J-W Park, 'New Catalogue of Thwaites Glacier Subglacial Lakes and Their Activity Revealed by CryoSat-2 Altimetry,' currently under revision for the Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface.

  3. ANA04B Mooring

    During the 2014 Amundsen Sea cruise (ANA04B) by IBRV Araon, a total of 35 CTD stations were visited, 3 moorings were successfully recovered on the shelf troughs and near the ice shelf front as well as the polynya. Monitor the circumpolar deep water (CDW) and associated rapid melting of glaciers in the Amundsen Shelf.
