    • Consistent ice and open water classification combining historical synthetic aperture radar satellite images from ERS-1/2, Envisat ASAR, RADARSAT-2 and Sentinel-1A/B 

      Johansson, Malin; Malnes, Eirik; Gerland, Sebastian; Cristea, Anca; Doulgeris, Anthony Paul; Divine, Dmitry V; Pavlova, Olga; Lauknes, Tom Rune (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-01-17)
      Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellite images are used to monitor Arctic sea ice, with systematic data records dating back to 1991. We propose a semi-supervised classification method that separates open water from sea ice and can utilise ERS-1/2, Envisat ASAR, RADARSAT-2 and Sentinel-1 SAR images. The classification combines automatic segmentation with a manual segment selection stage. The ...

    • Consistent ice and open water classification combining historical synthetic aperture radar satellite images from ERS-1/2, Envisat ASAR, RADARSAT-2, and Sentinel-1A/B 

      Johansson, Malin; Malnes, Eirik; Gerland, Sebastian; Cristea, Anca; Doulgeris, Anthony Paul; Divine, Dmitry V; Pavlova, Olga; Lauknes, Tom Rune (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2020)

    • Improving satellite-based monitoring of the polar regions: Identification of research and capacity gaps 

      Gabarró, Carolina; Hughes, Nick; Wilkinson, Jeremy; Bertino, Laurent; Bracher, Astrid; Diehl, Thomas; Dierking, Wolfgang Fritz Otto; Gonzalez-Gambau, Veronica; Lavergne, Thomas; Madurell, Theresa; Malnes, Eirik; Wagner, Penelope Mae (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-02-17)
      We present a comprehensive review of the current status of remotely sensed and in situ sea ice, ocean, and land parameters acquired over the Arctic and Antarctic and identify current data gaps through comparison with the portfolio of products provided by Copernicus services. While we include several land parameters, the focus of our review is on the marine sector. The analysis is facilitated by the ...

    • Multi-Sensor Analysis of Snow Seasonality and a Preliminary Assessment of SAR Backscatter Sensitivity to Arctic Vegetation: Limits and Capabilities 

      Stendardi, Laura; Karlsen, Stein Rune; Malnes, Eirik; Nilsen, Lennart; Tømmervik, Hans; Cooper, Elisabeth J.; Notarnicola, Claudia (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-04-13)
      Snow melt timing and the last day of snow cover have a significant impact on vegetation phenology in the Svalbard archipelago. The aim of this study is to assess the seasonal variations of the snow using a multi-sensor approach and to analyze the sensitivity of the Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) backscatter to vegetation growth and soil moisture in an arctic environment. A combined approach using ...

    • The Response of Tidewater Glacier Termini Positions in Hornsund (Svalbard) to Climate Forcing, 1992–2020 

      Błaszczyk, Małgorzata; Moskalik, Mateusz; Grabiec, Mariusz; Jania, Jacek; Walczowski, Waldemar; Wawrzyniak, Tomasz; Strzelewicz, Agnieszka; Malnes, Eirik; Lauknes, Tom Rune; Pfeffer, W. Tad (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2023-05-19)
      Many Arctic marine-terminating glaciers have undergone rapid retreats in recent decades. Seasonal and year-to-year variations in terminus position act on all tidewater glaciers, but the key controls on those changes vary from region to region. Here, we examined seasonal and decadal changes in termini positions of seven tidewater glaciers in the inner part of Hornsund, the southernmost fjord of ...

    • SIOS’s Earth Observation (EO), Remote Sensing (RS), and operational activities in response to COVID-19 

      Jawak, Shridhar D.; Andersen, Bo N.; Pohjola, Veijo; Godøy, Øystein; Hübner, Christiane E.; Jennings, Inger; Ignatiuk, Dariusz; Holmen, Kim; Sivertsen, Agnar; Hann, Richard; Tømmervik, Hans; Kääb, Andreas; Błaszczyk, Małgorzata; Salzano, Roberto; Luks, Bartłomiej; Høgda, Kjell Arild; Storvold, Rune; Nilsen, Lennart; Salvatori, Rosamaria; Krishnan, Kottekkatu Padinchati; Chatterjee, Sourav; Lorentzen, Dag Arne; Erlandsson, Rasmus; Lauknes, Tom Rune; Malnes, Eirik; Karlsen, Stein Rune; Enomoto, Hiroyuki; Fjæraa, Ann Mari; Zhang, Jie; Marty, Sabine; Nygård, Knut Ove; Lihavainen, Heikki (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-02-15)
      Svalbard Integrated Arctic Earth Observing System (SIOS) is an international partnership of research institutions studying the environment and climate in and around Svalbard. SIOS is developing an efficient observing system, where researchers share technology, experience, and data, work together to close knowledge gaps, and decrease the environmental footprint of science. SIOS maintains and facilitates ...

    • Snow avalanche segmentation in SAR images with Fully Convolutional Neural Networks 

      Bianchi, Filippo Maria; Grahn, Jakob; Eckerstorfer, Markus; Malnes, Eirik; Vickers, Hannah (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-11-10)
      Knowledge about frequency and location of snow avalanche activity is essential for forecasting and mapping of snow avalanche hazard. Traditional field monitoring of avalanche activity has limitations, especially when surveying large and remote areas. In recent years, avalanche detection in Sentinel-1 radar satellite imagery has been developed to improve monitoring. However, the current state-of-the-art ...

    • UAV-BORNE UWB RADAR FOR SNOWPACK SURVEYS 

      Eckerstorfer, Markus; Jenssen, Rolf Ole Rydeng; Kjellstrup, Andre; Storvold, Rune; Malnes, Eirik; Jacobsen, Svein Ketil (Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2018)
      In this report we summarize the capabilities and technical characteristics of our UAV-borne UWB radar system, designed for conducting snow surveys. We developed an ultrawideband snow sounder that is capable of imaging snow stratigraphy with a 5 cm range resolution. The radar can be carried by an octocopter UAV in order to carry out airborne snowpack surveys. During a demonstration on Andøya, we ...
