Towards an Antarctic Ice Shelf and Glacier Front Monitoring Service based on Sentinel-1 Data
The extent of Antarctic ice shelves and glacier tongues is important for accurate sea level rise predictions. If ice shelf areas with strong buttressing effects are lost the ice discharge of the Antarctic Ice Sheet increases. Therefore, it is crucial to monitor ice shelf front positions and keep tra...

The extent of Antarctic ice shelves and glacier tongues is important for accurate sea level rise predictions.
