[CRYOLIST] New satellite images of Antarctica now available

RADARSAT continental mosaics and high-resolution tiles of Antarctica from 1997 and 2000 are available at the Polar Data Catalogue, https://polardata.ca/pdcsearch!  These images have been converted into updated, more easily accessible formats (GeoTiff) and can be compared to the 2008 Antarctic mosaics from RADARSAT-2 which were released on the PDC in 2014.  All three datasets can be found under the "RADARSAT Mosaics of Antarctica" collection in the PDC, and all imagery can be freely downloaded.

Many thanks to MacDonald, Dettwiler and Associates Ltd. and the Canadian Space Agency for making this possible and to the Byrd Polar Research Center for online provision of the mosaics in their original formats.  See below for further information on all three mosaics.  We hope these images are useful to you!

The RADARSAT-1 Antarctic Mapping Project (RAMP) and RADARSAT-2 Antarctic Mapping Initiative were undertaken to provide snapshots of the Antarctic continent over a span of more than a decade, to document the state of the ice cover in Antarctica and to show changes over time in the land and sea ice around the southern continent. RAMP was a collaboration between the Canadian Space Agency and the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to map Antarctica using the RADARSAT-1 Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) in two missions. The first, the Antarctic Mapping Mission 1 (AMM-1), completed in September-October 1997, maneuvered the RADARSAT-1 satellite to a left-looking "Antarctic Mode" to capture the entirety of the continent, developing the first high-resolution SAR mosaic of Antarctica. The second, the Modified Antarctic Mapping Mission (MAMM), completed in September-November 2000, captured imagery north of 80°S all the way to the Antarctic coast, in both ascending and descending orbits. The objective of this mission was to observe changes in the ice sheet from the 1997 AMM-1 dataset and to use the multiple acquisitions to estimate the surface velocity of target areas of the ice sheet.

The RADARSAT-2 Antarctic Mapping Initiative, completed in October-December 2008, was undertaken to produce a continental mosaic consistent with the 1997 RADARSAT-1 Antarctic Mapping Mission. The resulting mosaics and individual high-resolution tiles, produced in collaboration with the Byrd Polar Research Center, cover all the way to the South Pole, repeating the coverage of the 1997 mission. In addition to enhancing the achievements of the RADARSAT-1 Antarctic missions, the intent of the 2008 mission was to facilitate change analysis through space-borne observation of ice sheets. Such data are important for generation of global climate products, including models. The 2008 mission was the result of international collaboration associated with the International Polar Year (IPY) and is a Canadian Space Agency contribution to IPY, incorporating input from the scientific community, with the goal of making science products available for free.

[CRYOLIST] New data portal for flow velocities of Greenland outlet glaciers from Landsat imagery 1972 – 2015

NEW DATA PORTAL FOR FLOW VELOCITIES OF GREENLAND OUTLET GLACIERS FROM
LANDSAT IMAGERY 1972 – 2015

Herewith we like to announce the release of a new data portal that
enables to access flow-velocity fields for more than 300 outlet glaciers
along the margin of the Greenland ice sheet.
It is for the very first time that for many Greenland glaciers flow
velocities can be tracked back to 1972.

The new web-based portal can be reached at
https://data1.geo.tu-dresden.de/flow_velocity.

It enables to investigate the temporal evolution of the glacier flow
velocity in many different ways such as along freely selectable profiles
or in terms of time series for discrete points.
So far, we included more than 37,000 optical multi-sensoral scenes from
Landsat 1 to 8. More than 100,000 flow-velocity fields for more than 300
Greenland glaciers have been processed for the time period until 2012.
For the subsequent years until 2015 we analyzed the flow-velocity fields
for the fastest flowing glaciers. The processing is still ongoing while
incorporating new recordings of Landsat 7 and 8 as well as further
scenes made available by the Landsat Global Archive Consolidation effort.
The processed data can be downloaded and freely used after a short
registration. For reference we like to ask you to refer to our paper
published in 2015.

[CRYOLIST] Fully funded 4 yr PhD (or 3 yr PostDoc) at IMAU, Utrecht University, The Netherlands

Dear all,

I would like to put your attention on the following vacancy at IMAU, Utrecht University, The Netherlands:

PhD student / Post Doctoral researcher in Climate Physics (1.0 FTE)
Job descriptionThe IMAU is looking for a motivated and qualified PhD student (m/f) or postdoctoral researcher to investigate the effect of cloud-albedo interactions on the fate of the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS). Enhanced ablation of the GrIS is expected to be responsible for about eleven cm global sea level rise by 2100, however, the exact contribution depends, among other factors like future mitigation measures, on the response of the snow albedo to climate change. In this project, this cloud-albedo effect will be explicitly modeled, leading to improved GrIS mass estimate for given climate scenarios.
In this project the successful candidate will implement an interactive routine for narrowband snow and ice albedo and subsurface heating in the polar version of the regional atmospheric climate model RACMO2. This new routine is closely coupled with the atmospheric radiation routine, hence resolving explicitly all radiative feedbacks between atmosphere and the snow/ice surface. The updated model will be evaluated against dedicated in situ year-round spectral albedo observations on the GrIS and narrowband albedo images from the MODIS, Landsat and WorldView satellites. With the improved model, projections of future mass loss of the GrIS will be made.
The successful candidate will thus work on an interesting mix of numerical models and observations, both in situ and from satellites. All this will lead to improved deglacation estimates of the GrIS for the coming century.
QualificationsApplicants have an MSc in meteorology, oceanography, geophysics or physics (or a PhD in case of a postdoctoral researcher) and a verifiable interest in climate science. Programming skills (in Fortran, C or similar) and experience with (complex) numerical models are required. Applicants must be able to work independently and reflect on their own activities. Finally, good English oral and writing skills are essential.
OfferThe candidate is offered a full-time position for four years (PhD, three years in case of a PostDoc). The salary is supplemented with a holiday bonus of 8% and an end-of-year bonus of 8,3% per year. In addition we offer: a pension scheme, a partially paid parental leave, flexible employment conditions. Conditions are based on the Collective Labour Agreement Dutch Universities. The research group will provide the candidate with necessary support on all aspects of the project.PhD: the gross salary starts at € 2,174 and increases to € 2,779 per month in the fourth year of the appointment.Postdoc: the gross salary is in the range between € 3,044 and maximum € 3,997 per month.
More information and application
