Glacial Ice Detection

چکیده
Safe marine navigation in the Arctic is becoming more important with a growing interest in the region in recent years [1]. The United States Geological Survey (USGS) estimates there to be more than 90 billion barrels of undiscovered oil in the arctic [2]. With the summer Arctic sea ice extent having decreased by 50% since 1980 [3], this now opening waterway has given rise to serious interest in commercial exploitation of its resources as well as shipping routes through the Arctic.

Application of remote sensing data in measuring the area of the Zardkuh glaciers
Glaciers influenced by climatic factors and therefore as an important indicator in the study of climate change are studied. Although morphometric analyzes of glaciers based on the analysis of optical satellite data can provide an opportunity to measure ice outcrops, but the identification and determination of the buried glaciers underneath the glacial debris and, consequently, the determination...
متن کاملGlacial rumblings from Jakobshavn ice stream, Greenland
The steep increase in Greenland’s glacial earthquake activity detected by the Global Seismographic Network since the late 1990s suggests that a close inspection of these events might provide clues to the nature and origin of such seismic activity. Here we discuss the detection of large, unexpected seismic events of extraordinarily long duration (10–40min) occurring about once every 2 days, and ...
متن کاملIrregular Spot Detection and Tracking: Automatically Geo-Temporal Tracking of Supra-Glacial Lakes on the Greenland Ice Sheet
Supra-glacial lakes (i.e., ponds of melting water on ice sheet) in Greenland have attracted extensive global attention during the recent years. To understand the important role they play in glacier movement, sea level rise, and climate change, scientists need to learn where these lakes are, when they form, and how they change in each melting season and across multiple years. This requires detec...

Summary Data from cores collected from sites that were beneath the Ross Ice Shelf until 2000 and 2002 indicate that sub-ice shelf lithofacies are distinguishable from sub-glacial and glacial marine facies.

متن کاملAttenuation of acoustic waves in glacial ice and salt domes
[1] Two classes of natural solid media, glacial ice and salt domes, are under consideration as media in which to deploy instruments for detection of neutrinos with energy 10 eV. Though insensitive to 10 to 10 eV neutrinos for which observatories (e.g., AMANDA and IceCube) that utilize optical Cherenkov radiation detectors are designed, radio and acoustic methods are suited for searches for the ...
