Effects of permafrost stability changes on vegetation dynamics in the middle part of the Greater Khingan Mountains by Jiaman Sun, Wei Shan, Chengcheng Zhang

“…This study utilized vegetation and climate data, along with 30-meter high-resolution frozen soil distribution data from 2003 to 2021, to investigate the impact of changes in frozen soil stability on vegetation dynamics and phenology. Analysis of satellite observations reveals significant changes in the spatiotemporal distribution of permafrost in the area, with the stability of permafrost in low-altitude regions being particularly affected. …”

Calving front positions for 42 key glaciers of the Antarctic Peninsula Ice Sheet: a sub-seasonal record from 2013 to 2023 based on deep-learning application to Landsat multi-spectr... by E. Loebel, E. Loebel, C. A. Baumhoer, A. Dietz, M. Scheinert, M. Horwath

“…Current calving front data products are limited in coverage and temporal resolution because they rely on manual delineation, which is time-consuming and unfeasible for the increasing amount of satellite data. To simplify the mapping of calving fronts, we apply a deep-learning-based processing system designed to automatically delineate glacier fronts from multi-spectral Landsat imagery. …”
