Abstract

We present here the Bedmap3 ice thickness, bed and surface elevation aggregated points and survey lines. The aggregated points consist of statistically-summarised shapefile points (centred on a continent-wide 500 m x 500 m grid) that reports the average values of Antarctic ice thickness, bed and surface elevation from the full-resolution survey data and information on their distribution. The points presented here correspond to the added points since the last release of Bedmap2.
The data comes from 14 different data providers and 75 individual surveys. They are available as geopackages and shapefiles.

The associated Bedmap datasets are listed here: https://www.bas.ac.uk/project/bedmap/#data
