Surface fractures have a great impact on ice shelf stability in Antarctica and can be considered precursors of ice shelf calving. However, our understanding of the spatial distribution and temporal evolution of surface fractures on the Antarctic ice shelf is limited. In this study, a ResUNet model w...
