During three airborne campaigns conducted between 2018 and 2021 and led by the Alfred Wegener Institute, we collected super-high-resolution multispectral imagery of permafrost landscapes using the Modular Aerial Camera System (MACS) developed by the German Aerospace Center. The images, covering regi...
