Abstract

Sea-level rise will affect populations worldwide with considerable and lasting consequences in the not-too-distant future. Accurate measurement of fast flowing outlet glaciers in Greenland and Antarctica are of vital importance to ice sheet models that predict the course of sea-level rise. The Center for the Remote Sensing of Ice Sheets (CReSIS) has developed a suite of tools designed for use with data collected by CReSIS depth sounding radar platforms. This suite includes algorithms for removing clutter and noise from coherent radar data, and the results show successful sounding of some of these fast-flowing glaciers for the first time.
