Antarctica Supraglacial Lakes Sentinel-1 SAR Images
This dataset contains synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images of supraglacial lakes on the Antarctic ice shelves, acquired by the Sentinel-1 satellite. Supraglacial lakes are surface meltwater features that can affect the stability and dynamics of ice shelves by hydrofracturing, basal sliding, or surf...

This dataset contains synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images of supraglacial lakes on the Antarctic ice shelves, acquired by the Sentinel-1 satellite. Supraglacial lakes are surface meltwater features that can affect the stability and dynamics of ice shelves by hydrofracturing, basal sliding, or surface thinning. Monitoring the spatio-temporal distribution and evolution of these lakes is important for understanding the impact of surface meltwater on ice shelf collapse and sea level rise. The dataset covers four key regions: the Amery, Roi Baudouin, Nivlisen, and Riiser-Larsen ice shelves, which are characterized by extensive surface meltwater features.
