The annual coastal erosion rates of Arctic coasts are among the highest in the world, and the rates are increasing because of climate change. Monitoring of these mass movements with optical images is challenging due to frequent cloud cover of the Arctic. Synthetic Aperture Radars (SAR) are barely af...
