(613)995-3671, fax: (613)947-1383,[email protected] INTRODUCTION The entire continent of Antarctica was mapped at a 25- meter resolution with synthetic aperture radar (SAR) during the Radarsat Antarctic Mapping Project (RAMP) over a 30- day period in the fall of 1997 providing a static “snapshot” of the ice sheet [l]. Since Radarsat-1 has a 24-day orbit cycle, repeat-pass interferometric SAR (InSAR) data was also acquired. The extensive InSAR data [1,2] will provide a view of ice sheet kinematics, for use in studies of glacier dynamics over vast unexplored areas. This information is required to determine the response of the Antarctic Ice Sheet to present and future climate change. In this paper we present the results of analysis of an InSAR pair for the Recovery Glacier, East Antarctica. Figure1. RADARSAT mosaic of the East Antarctic Ice streams centered on Recovery Glacier. Box is InSAR scene RECOVERY GLACIER The Recovery Glacier is a major outlet draining a portion of Queen Maud Land to the Filchner Ice Shelf. Feeding the glacier is a large ice stream and tributaries, the extent of which, are easily observable from the RAMP mosaic (Fig.

As a consequence, after the entry in force in 1961 of the Antarctic Treaty, IUGS recommended that Antarctica should be taken into account by CGMW as one of the regions of the World, and respective action was taken at the CGMW meeting in December in 1962 by establishing Sub-commission for Antarctica.

  • Observing the Antarctic Ice Sheet Using the Radarsat-1 Synthetic Aperture Radar1
    OBSERVING THE ANTARCTIC ICE SHEET USING THE RADARSAT-1 SYNTHETIC APERTURE RADAR1 Kenneth C. Jezek Byrd Polar Research Center, The Ohio State University Columbus, Ohio 43210 Abstract: This paper discusses the RADARSAT-1 Antarctic Mapping Project (RAMP). RAMP is a collaboration between NASA and the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) to map Antarctica using the RADARSAT -1 synthetic aperture radar. The project was conducted in two parts. The first part, which had the data acquisition phase in 1997, resulted in the first high-resolution radar map of Antarctica. The second part, which occurred in 2000, remapped the continent below 80°S Latitude and is now using interfer- ometric repeat-pass observations to compute glacier surface velocities. Project goals and objectives are reviewed here along with several science highlights. These highlights include observations of ice sheet margin change using both RAMP and historical data sets and the derivation of surface velocities on an East Antarctic outlet glacier using interferometric data collected in 2000. INTRODUCTION Carried aloft by a NASA rocket launched from Vandenburg Air Force Base on November 4, 1995, the Canadian RADARSAT-1 is equipped with a C-band (5.3 GHz) synthetic aperture radar (SAR) capable of acquiring high-resolution (25 m) images of the Earth’s surface day or night and under all weather conditions. Along with the attributes familiar to researchers working with SAR data from the European Space Agency’s Earth Remote Sensing Satellite and ENVISAT as well as the Japa- nese Earth Resources Satellite, RADARSAT-1 has enhanced flexibility to collect data using a variety of swath widths, incidence angles, and resolutions.

The mostly low grade late Paleozoic Eastern Andes Metamorphic Complex (EAMC) crops out to the East of the Meso-Cenozoic South Patagonian batholith (SPB), which intruded the metamorphic complexes. The protolith of the EAMC was likely deposited in a passive margin setting and at the Puerto Edén area underwent Late Jurassic sillimanite grade and migmatite local metamorphic conditions. It is suspected, but not proven, that the Cordillera Darwin Metamorphic Complex is a higher grade metamorphic equivalent of the EAMC.

  • November 1960 I Believe That the Major Exports of Antarctica Are Scientific Data
    JIET L S. Antarctic Projects OfficerI November 1960 I believe that the major exports of Antarctica are scientific data. Certainly that is true now and I think it will be true for a long time and I think these data may turn out to be of vastly, more value to all mankind than all of the mineral riches of the continent and the life of the seas that surround it.

  • Exploration of Subsurface Antarctica: Uncovering Past Changes and Modern Processes

We know far more about the surfaces of the Moon, Mars and around half of Pluto than we do about the underside of the Antarctic ice sheet. Geophysical exploration is the key route to measuring the ice sheetâ s internal structure and the land on which the ice rests. From such measurements, we are able to reveal how the ice sheet flows, and how it responds to atmospheric and ocean warming. By examining landscapes that have been moulded by former ice flow, we are able to identify how the ice sheet behaved in the past. Geophysics is therefore critical to understanding change in Antarctica. Gold Open Access: This article is published under the terms of the CC-BY 3.0 license. Numerical ice-sheet modelling reveals that, under Historical perspective atmospheric and ocean warming, the Antarctic ice sheet is likely to lose mass in the future and con- In 1950 little was known about the size and shape of tribute to rising sea levels.
