{"name": "Q-GlaRe+", "package_name": "qglare_plus", "description": "Q-GlaRe+ reconstructs the 3D surface elevation and ice thickness of palaeo- and extant glaciers from digitised flowlines, and facilitates calculation of Equilibrium Line Altitude (ELA).", "about": "Q-GlaRe+ is a QGIS plugin for reconstructing the 3D surface elevation and ice\nthickness of palaeo- and extant glaciers and calculating their Equilibrium-Line Altitude\n(ELA). It adds a Q-GlaRe+ provider to the Processing Toolbox with five tools for flowline\nice-thickness estimation, manual and shape-factor corrections, 3D surface interpolation,\nand ELA calculation.\n\nMain tools:\n- 2D FL Ice Thickness: estimates ice thickness and surface elevation along digitised flowlines\n- 2D modified FL Ice Thickness: adjusts individual flowline point values (e.g. basal shear stress)\n- 2D shape-factor FL Ice Thickness: applies a valley shape-factor (F-factor) correction\n- 3D Interpolation: interpolates the flowline estimates into a continuous glacier surface and ice-thickness raster.\n- Q-ELA: calculates the ELA by the AABR, AAR, and AA methods.\n\nExternal dependencies (must be installed before use): the 3D Interpolation tool requires\nSAGA GIS and the Processing Saga NextGen Provider plugin, installed and configured\nseparately. numpy and pandas are included with standard QGIS / OSGeo4W installations. The\nother tools run without SAGA.\n\nHow to cite: Burnham, B. S., M. Spagnolo, R.
