In September 2016 NASA flew an interferometric synthetic aperture radar (GLISTIN) over most of the glacier-covered regions of the coterminous USA for the purpose of mapping the surface elevation of the glaciers. Where multiple passes were flown over the same ground track, the data were mosaiced together to improve data coverage and elevation accuracy. These data are to be used with elevations collected by past and future efforts to calculate volume change of glaciers.
The data were the basis for:

This work is marked with CC0 1.0 Universal
The data supports a manuscript submitted to Geophysical Research Letters, “Application of Aerial InSAR to Measure Glacier Elevations”.
