Regional Glacier Mapping Using Optical Satellite Data Time Series
IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2016 The first of two Sentinel-2 satellites, launched mid2015, has similar characteristics as the Landsat TM/ETM + /OLI satellites. Together, these satellites will produce a tremendous quantity of optical images worldwide for glacier mapping, with increasing ...

94 GHz Radar Backscatter Characteristics of Alpine Glacier Ice
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 Measuring the radar backscatter characteristics of glacier ice at different frequencies and incidence angles is fundamental to predicting the glacier mapping performance of a sensor. However, such measurements at 94 GHz do not exist.

Glacier classification from Sentinel-2 imagery using spatial-spectral attention convolutional model
International Journal of Applied Earth Observations and Geoinformation, 2021 Glaciers are critical components of the cryosphere and most sources of water. The Sentinel-2 imagery provides an efficient and cost-effective way for the production of inventories of glaciers.

Multi-sensor remote sensing to map glacier debris cover in the Greater Caucasus, Georgia
Journal of Glaciology, 2021 Global warming is causing glaciers in the Caucasus Mountains and around the world to lose mass at an accelerated pace. As a result of this rapid retreat, significant parts of the glacierized surface area can be covered with debris deposits, often making ...
