Estimation of ice shelf front changes using MODIS data and statistical approach
January 2023 • Aakriti Srivastava, Dinesh C. Gupta, Avinash Kumar
The Ronne ice shelf (RIS) dynamics and mass balance play key role to decipher changes in the global climate scenario. The spatio-temporal changes in ice shelf extent of the RIS were studied by dividing the study area into three sectors (I, II, II) and further into a number of transects at 5 km uniform intervals using multi-dated Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectro-radiometer (MODIS) satellite data (2004–2019) of the austral summer months (January–March). The average of rates (AOR), end point rate (EPR), and linear…
