Detecting plume-driven polynyas from dual-pol SAR imagery

Antarctic ocean temperatures are rising due to climate change, causing land ice to melt at increasingly higher rates. Ice shelf bottom melt is a key factor responsible for Antarctic ice mass loss and as such understanding melt processes in the Antarctic is therefore key to more accurately predict how the global sea level will respond to climate...

Polarimetric SAR signals of river ice breakup

Ice jam events can be devastating for the environment, human infrastructure, and local population. During breakup season, it is of great importance to be informed about the river ice cover condition in order to mitigate breakup flood risk. The Athabasca River near FortMcMurray, located in Alberta, is particularly prone to ice jam events and...
