Hello, GIS grad student here, I am trying to create a Space Time cube for the melting of glaciers over time and I am stuck.
I have a shapefile for 10 different polygons of glacier boundaries starting from 1957-2021. The attribute table has the date and area of the glacier at the time of measurement. I exported each polygon as an individual layer and converted all 10 features to rasters. I then joined the attributes of the glaciers to each raster. I then created a mosaic dataset (kept the default settings minus 1 bit pixel depth) and added all 10 rasters to my mosaic. I get a black polygon here with the outline of the square footprint. From here I added two fields to my footprint attribute table, the year, and area, and populated it accordingly. I now want to build the multidimensional info correctly and cannot figure out how to populate the "Build Multidimensional Info" tool correctly to display the change in area per year. Can I get help on how I should populate the variable and dimension fields? My variable here is area, and dimension is year (I think). Note the variable field only gives a few options to choose from (like Name, Tag, URIhash fields), I jsut don't know how to populate these fields correctly. Thanks.
