The information about surface topography,snow accumulation rate and surface ice velocity in Dome Argus are very significant to the accurate interpretation of local ice core records.
The velocity of glacier in Antarctica is a fundamental parameter to ice dynamics and projection of sea level rise,and it is as well the key indicator of global climate change.
Jakobshavn Glacier is the fastest(19 m per day)and one of the most active glaciers around the world.Discharging more than 35km3 of ice every year,its mass loss surpasses anyone else outside the Antarc
The glacier dynamics plays an important role in mass balance of Antarctica.In recent years,scientists gradually started to use very high resolution(VHR)satellite image data and unmanned aerial vehicle
Antarctic snowmelt has effects on global mass balance and sea level rise.The ascending and descending passes of the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer for Earth Observing System Sensor(AMSR-E)obse
Global navigation satellite positioning system is wildly used on a global scale nowadays because it can provide real-time precise positions and hardly be restricted by time,space and weather.
