Rift propagation signals the last act of the Thwaites Eastern Ice Shelf despite low basal melt rates by Christian T. Wild, Samuel B. Kachuck, Adrian Luckman, Karen E. Alley, Meghan A. Sharp, Haylee Smith, Scott W. Tyler, Christopher Kratt, Tiago S. Dotto, Daniel Price, Keith W. Nicholls, Suzanne L. Bevan, Gabriela Collao-Barrios, Atsuhiro Muto, Martin Truffer, Ted A. Scambos, Karen J. Heywood, Erin C. Pettit, the TARSAN team

“…Meanwhile, a distributed set of phase-sensitive radar measurements indicates that the basal melting rate is generally small, likely due to a widespread robust ocean stratification beneath the ice–ocean interface that suppresses basal melt despite the presence of substantial oceanic heat at depth. …”

BSG-WSL: BackScatter-guided weakly supervised learning for water mapping in SAR images by Kai Wang, Zhongle Ren, Biao Hou, Weibin Li, Licheng Jiao

“…In this article, a BackScatter-Guided Weakly Supervised Learning (BSG-WSL) framework based on image-level labels is proposed for water extraction with the requirement of high generalization and low labeling. In BSG-WSL, a BackScatter-Guided Network (BSGNet) is proposed, where the backscatter information of water is used to guide the feature extraction process, yielding precise Class Attention Maps (CAMs) of water. …”
