3. When GEE has finsihed loading, the dates for which adequate Landsat scenes are available can be selected (combo box on the top right of the map window). Details of the Landsat scenes can be investigated in the "Console" tab.

MANTRA was developed within the research project "TopoClimatic Forcing and non-linear dynamics in the climate change adaption of glaciers in High Asia" (TopoClif). TopoCliF and David Loibl's work within the project were funded by [DFG](https://gepris.dfg.de/gepris/projekt/356944332) under the ID LO 2285/1-1.
