Drone-based glacier mapping of Fridtjovbreen, Vallakrabreen, Paulabreen, and Scheelebreen

DOI

This database contains drone-based mapping data of four glaciers in Svalbard, Norway. Fridtjovbreen on the west coast and Vallakrabreen, Paulabreen, and Scheelebreen which are three surging glaciers in Rindersbukta. The dataset was generated using a structure-from-motion (SfM) method using drone-based imagery. The data was processed with Agisoft Metashape and the processed data consists of digital elevation models (DEMs) in georeferenced .TIF file format, orthomosaic maps in georeferenced .TIF, .JPG, and .PNG file format, and textured 3D models in .STL and .JPG file format. In addition, a process report in archived .PDF file format is included for each dataset. Mapping was conducted with a DJI Mavic 3 Pro Enterprise. The mapping area covers the crevassed glacier fronts. Data collection was conducted during Spring 2025 (29.03.2025-02.04.2025). For Fridtjovbreen, two different models are available, one high resolution and one baseline resolution. The datasets for Paulabreen and Scheelebreen are combined.
