Bedmap2 is a 1 km resolution dataset of Antarctic surface, ice thickness, and bed topography. Details about Bedmap2 can be found here:https://www.bas.ac.uk/project/bedmap-2/. This set of functions is a plugin for Antarctic Mapping Tools (Greene et al., 2017).

4.6.0.0	23 May 2018	Just a few documentation updates. No changes in functionality. Mostly documentation updates. Also, grounding line data is now included in this toolbox, which removes the Image Processing Toolbox requirement and eliminates the need to run an install script.	Download
4.5.0.0	22 Jan 2016	Plotting bedmap2('gl',...'xy') and bedmap2('coast',...'xy') are now much faster. Also fixed a bug where bedmap2_data was calling the rock mask when user requested Vostok mask.	Download
4.4.0.0	16 Dec 2015	Added bedmap2_dist function. bedmap2_data now returns double precision.	Download
4.3.0.0	2 Dec 2015	Fixed some bugs in bedmap2_profile.	Download
4.2.0.0	3 Sep 2015	Updated contouring in the bedmap2 plotting function. Contouring now follows Matlab's contouring syntax.	Download
4.1.0.0	3 Aug 2015	Minor bug fix in bedmap2_profile.	Zip Toolbox
1.13.0.0	26 Feb 2015	Switch to tiff-based data, reduced dependence on Mapping Toolbox, much faster data loading and plotting, addition of bedmap2_profile.	Zip Toolbox
1.12.0.0	26 Aug 2014	Version 3.0.	Download
1.11.0.0	23 Aug 2014	Adapted into a plugin for the Antarctic Mapping Tools package.	Download
1.10.0.0	14 May 2014	v2.30: Added support for WGS84 elevations; added cubic, spline, and nearest-neighbor interpolation; changed default contour colors from blue to black, added colorbar location options.	Download
1.9.0.0	26 Mar 2014	Typo fixes in the header files. Functionality unchanged.	Download
1.8.0.0	4 Feb 2014	Removed dependency on deg2rad and rad2deg. Added examples in documentation.	Download
