I work in glaciology and know these people, though I had nothing to do with
their web site.  Because this is a high-profile site, I encourage you to
send them your constructive comments and suggestions.  Note that LIMA is a
large dataset, and it could be that they need pointers on the back end as
well.  It could be that proprietary web mapping vendors will approach them
offering 'better' solutions.  It would be good if the open source community
is a visible source of help, one that reaches out to them first.
