Beschreibungen/Notizen

• We present a comparison of 1997 RADARSAT Antarctic Mapping Project (RAMP) SAR data with 2008-09 TerraSAR-X observations of a tributary glacier that is part of the Recovery Glacier drainage network in Coates Land Antarctica. The Recovery Glacier system is of scientific interest because of its role in discharging East Antarctic ice to the sea and because it has been subsequently learned that the flow of the glacier is likely controlled by the presence of subglacial lakes near the onset of faster glacier flow.
