Glacier Firn Area Change - Svalbard

On many glaciers in Svalbard, three surface types are visible on SAR images, the dark glacier ice at the glacier's lower end, the brighter superimposed ice in the middle, and the white firn at the higher elevations. Surface classification of these types is valuable especially since the retreat...
