Changes in the Margin of Ice Stream C, Antarctica
We present results from satellite imagery, ice motion surveys, and ice-penetrating radar studies of a portion of the north margin of Ice Stream C, one of the ice streams draining the West Antarctic Ice Sheet to the Ross Embayment. Our studies suggest that the shutdown of Ice Stream C about 150 years ago was not a single event but a sequence involving stagnation of ice and migration of the ice s...
متن کاملDetecting Icebergs in Sea Ice Using Dual Polarized Satellite Radar Imagery
Two synthetic aperture radar (SAR) datasets with validated icebergs in sea ice were analyzed. A qualitative assessment of the data using false colour visualization methods for dual polarization SAR was conducted indicating that icebergs had an improved visually discernable signature from the background over single polarization SAR.A quantitative analysis was completed to exploit these observati...
متن کاملRadar surveys of the Rutford Ice Stream onset zone, West Antarctica: indications of flow (in)stability?
We present 1 and 100MHz ground-based radar data from the onset region of Rutford Ice Stream, West Antarctica, which indicate the form and internal structure of isochrones. In the flowparallel lines, modelled isochrone patterns reproduce the gross pattern of the imaged near-surface layers, assuming steady-state flow velocity from GPS records and the current accumulation rate for the last 200 yea...
متن کاملAirborne and spaceborne ice sounding of Antarctica, Mars and Europa
Satellite-based radio echo sounding technique is of interest to the Earth science community over Antarctica and Greenland, as well as to the planetary science community for exploring subsurface structures of Mars and Europa. Pioneered by the Mars exploration community using MARSIS radar on board the Mars Express mission, such a technique has demonstrated ice sounding capability down to a few ki...
متن کاملDe-shadowing of satellite/airborne imagery
A de-shadowing technique is presented for multispectral and hyperspectral imagery over land acquired by satellite/airborne sensors. The method requires a channel in the visible and at least one spectral band in the near-infrared (0.8–1mm) region, but performs much better if bands in the short-wave infrared region (around 1.6 and 2.2mm) are available as well. The algorithm consists of these majo...
