Digital elevation models and delineation of antarctic glaciers using stereo capabilities of ASTER satellite images : steps on the way for a glacier monitoring on the Antarctic Peninsula
Ongoing climate warming on the AP indicates that changes in the glacial system are occurring as a sensible reaction to the climatic variations. To study how develops this phenomenon the Antarctic Peninsula represents a source for cases study. To monitor changes in the variety of elements that compou...

Ongoing climate warming on the AP indicates that changes in the glacial system are occurring as a sensible reaction to the climatic variations. To study how develops this phenomenon the Antarctic Peninsula represents a source for cases study.
