Welcome to glaciersat - monitoring glaciers from space!

Glaciersat is a modular system that is made to make the retrieval and processing of satellite data for glacier monitoring easy.

Glaciersat has been initiated as a sister project of CRAMPON - Cryospheric Monitoring and Prediction Online. It mainly serves as supplier for obervational data within CRAMPON, which can then be assimilated in the mass balance models.
