Towards Circumpolar Mapping of Arctic Settlements and Infrastructure Based on Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2

Infrastructure expands rapidly in the Arctic due to industrial development. At the same time, climate change impacts are pronounced in the Arctic. Identification of roads and settlements with satellite data is challenging due to the size of single features and low density of clusters. Spatial resolu...
