Lakes are important ecosystems providing various ecosystem services. Stressors such as
eutrophication or climate change, however, threaten their ecological functions. National and …

Shallow bathymetric map** is important for navigation safety and geomorphologic,
hydrologic and oceanographic research. However, field measurements and shipborne …

Accurate bathymetric map** of shallow waters (above 15 m) is essential for a wide range
of scientific research, government, transport, and industry globally. Satellite-based …

Meltwater stored in ponds and crevasses can weaken and fracture ice shelves, triggering
their rapid disintegration. This ice-shelf collapse results in an increased flux of ice from …

Thermally incised meltwater channels that flow each summer across melt-prone surfaces of
the Greenland ice sheet have received little direct study. We use high-resolution WorldView …

Melt and supraglacial lakes are precursors to ice shelf collapse and subsequent accelerated
ice sheet mass loss. We used data from the Landsat 8 and Sentinel-2 satellites to develop a …

Liquid water stored on the surface of ice sheets and glaciers impacts surface mass balance,
ice dynamics, and heat transport. Multispectral remote sensing can be used to detect …

Remote sensing is commonly used to monitor supraglacial lakes on the Greenland Ice
Sheet (GrIS); however, most satellite records must trade off higher spatial resolution for …

Supraglacial lakes (SGLs) on the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) influence ice dynamics if they
drain rapidly by hydrofracture. MODIS data are often used to investigate SGLs, including …

Machine learning methods for water depth estimation using remote sensing require accurate
prior depth measurements. The successful operation of the Ice, Cloud and land Elevation …
