Tracking glacier surge evolution using interferometric SAR coherence—examples from Svalbard
Journal of GlaciologyWe present a practically simple methodology for tracking glacier surge onset and evolution using interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) coherence. Detecting surges early and monitoring their build-up is interesting for a multitude of scientific
