Satellite-derived volume loss rates and glacier speeds for the Cordillera Darwin Icefield, Chile

We produce the first icefield-wide volume change rate and glacier velocity estimates for the Cordillera Darwin Icefield (CDI), a 2605 km<sup>2</sup> temperate icefield in southern Chile (69.6° W, 54.6° S). Velocities are measured from optical and radar imagery between 2001–2011. Thirty-s...
