Development of Grounding Line Database using ERS-1/2 Data by InSAR Technique

We have a plan to build the ocean-continent boundary database at Antarctica mainly to apply InSAR analysis technique using ERS-1 and ERS-2 tandem mission data. This database shows the snapshot of the state of Antarctic ice shelves and ice sheet in 1995-1996, when the tandem mission operated. The ocean-continent boundary data consist of grounding line and coast line, both which have vector property, and these vector data are stored by ESRI shape format (SHP), which is the world's standard vector format. This database will be expected to be used for ice mass flux study at Antarctica and is opened public on internet in this year to contribute the International Polar Year (IPY) activities and anyone can access this database freely through web browser.
