The proposed facies classification approach uses three features of the GLCM with multitemporal X-band SAR data TerraSAR-X combined k-means clustering. This was tested on 15 transboundary Himalayan glaciers. They were classified into six namely debris, dry snow, wet bare ice, percolation zone 1 and 2 covered areas for these classes are 20.56%, 12.50%, 20.26%, 13.16%, 25.49% 8.03% total area resp...

World wide Alpine glaciers suffer from global warming, resulting in a sophisticated melting process affecting the mass balances and the volume of these frozen water resources. In this paper the preliminary results of a joint international glaciological project are presented, which is aimed to make synergetic use of high resolution remote sensing data from different parts of the electromagnetic ...

High resolution TerraSAR-X/TanDEM-X as well as Sentinel-1 remote sensing Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data are used to determine and monitor the waterline in the Wadden Sea. In this very unique and dynamic coastal region in the southeastern North Sea, tidal flats extend several kilometers away from the coast during low tide with features like tidal inlets and sand banks. Under the influence o...

The present study investigates the relations between statistical measures of TerraSAR-X backscatter coefficients and field inventory measures for tropical agroforestry systems in Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. The background of the study is to evaluate the potential of spaceborne SAR missions for the spatially explicit estimation of horizontal and vertical structure elements of land use systems i...
