Satellite-borne Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) has been used for characterizing and mapping in two relevant ice-free areas in the South Shetland Islands. The objective has been to identify and characterize land surface covers that mainly include periglacial and glacial landforms, using fully polarimetric SAR C band RADARSAT-2 data, on Fildes Peninsula that forms part of King George Island, and Ardley...
Active periglacial processes and landforms are common within the Northern Antarctic Peninsula region and are becoming the focus of interest for studying changes occurring to permafrost. The objective of this study was to identify and characterize glacial and periglacial surface features with fully polarimetric SAR C band RADARSAT-2 data in ice-free regions surrounding Maxwell Bay, South Shetland Islands...
Fildes Peninsula (F.P.) and Ardley Island (A.I.) are among the first ice-free areas in Maritime Antarctica. Since the last glacial retreat in this part of Antarctica (8000 to 5000yearsBP), the landscape in these areas evolved under paraglacial to periglacial conditions, with pedogenesis marked by cryogenic processes. We carried out a detailed soil and geomorphology survey, with full morphological...
