The processing of SAR data, such as importing and multi-looking into power images,
geocoding with the help of SRTM DEM and Landsat ETM+ orthorectified image,
and generation of backscatter images, was carried out using SARSCAPE software.
At the outset, I collaborated with scientists who generously provided their archival material, such as chronological records of glacial degradation(repeats), and visual material mapping glacial recession,
as well as Landsat imagery from USGS, NASA, and NOA.
Using radar surveys and Landsat imagery, Dow reports direct evidence
that a major 2016 calving event at Nansen Ice Shelf in the Ross Sea was the result of fracture driven by channels melted into the bottom of the ice shelf.
