7 Develope a national service for glaciers in mainland Norway & Svalbard Glacier lakes Outline Area Glacier products 1. Glacier outline, area & calving front 2. Glacier surface type & snow line 3. Ice velocity 4. Glacier crevasses & surge 5. Glacier lakes Crevasses Velocity /Copernicus Sentinel data 2016/ Ice Firn Snow Snowline Equilibrium line Skyer Sentinel 2 (B11-8-4)
8 Glacier outline, area & calving front /Copernicus Sentinel data 2018/ Updated glacier mask of Svalbard and mainland Norway Present state & change detection Imagery without seasonal snow or clouds Combine several scenes to get optimal mapping conditions
9 Sentinel July 2017 /Copernicus Sentinel data 2017/
10 Sentinel July 2018 /Copernicus Sentinel data 2018/
11 Sentinel vs Landsat /Copernicus Sentinel data 2018/ /Landsat 2014/ S2: L8:
12 /Copernicus Sentinel data 2018/ Spectral bands used for glacier mapping S2: B4 Red S2: B8 NIR S2: B11 SWIR
13 /Copernicus Sentinel data 2018/ Band ratio and thresholding Band4/Band11 Threshold >
14 Calving fronts Svalbard /Copernicus Sentinel data 24 July 2017/ Austfonna Storisstraumen Bråsvellbreen Calving fronts from Landsat-8 and Sentinel-2 Storisstraumen Nathorstbreen Advance and retreat between 2000s and 2015 (Landsat-8). Generell retreat except two major advances (surge) - Nathorstbreen (2009->) - Storisstraumen, Austfonna (2012->)
15 Ice velocity: Sentinel-1 Glacier surface speeds can be detected using radar offset tracking Svalbard: Repeat Sentinel-1 radar images of January The color-code from blue to red is saturated at 5 m/day. MODIS
16 Ice velocity: Sentinel-2 Glacier surface speeds derived using optical image matching. Standardised normalised crosscorrelation. Using band 8 (NIR) Sentinel-2 image-matching programme CIAS. Jostedalsbreen, Norway: image matching of Sentinel-2 for 22 August - 16 September 2017.
17 Ice velocity: Sentinel 2 Work on larger glaciers Need to see crevasses Checked potential for Norway
18 Glacier surges Surge-> increase in flow velocity Shifts in flow regimes can be detected using Sentinel Negribreen, Svalbard: A 10-m resolution velocity map of surge in spring 2017 from a Sentinel-2 pair.
19 Crevasses Crevasses can be detected automatically on S-2/L-8 using Radon transform Can also be mapped manually Austfonna Basin 3, Svalbard: Crevasse fields display particularly dominant directional greyscale variations. Figure: Bas Altena, UiO
20 Glacier lakes Jøkulhlaup: Glacier lake outburst floods (GLOFs) Sentinel-2 imagery used to survey previously registered GLOFs detect new possible GLOF sites Method to map lakes: Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI) Manual digitization NDWI = Green NIR Green + NIR
21 /Copernicus Sentinel data 2018/ Jøkulhlaup from Blåmannsisen Glacier-dammed lake Blåmannsisen Sentinel-2 26 August 2018
22 14 August September 2018
23 Jøkulhlaup from Blåmannsisen Sentinel-1: GLOF had started early morning 25 August 05:37 Glacier-dammed lake Blåmannsisen
24 Jøkulhlaup from Blåmannsisen Lowering: 32.5 m Volume: ~22 mill. m 3 Glacier-dammed lake Blåmannsisen
25 /Copernicus Sentinel data 2018/ Example Marabreen 26 July 1 Sep
26 Kronebreen Setevatnet Kongsvegen Uversbreen Setevatnet ~5km Area ~1 km 2
27 Setevatnet Lake Drainage Tile 33XVH Different relative orbits. 23/07/ /07/2017 First image shows the lake at its maximum extent. Drainage was initiated about 12 hours after S-2 acquisition 23/07/2017.
28 Orthorectification & use of DTM Sentinel-2 needs to be processed with good elevation model SK DEM good for glacier mapping S2A available with Norwegian DEM for 2018, but not S2B. (fewer imagery available) Need S-2 with Norwegian DEM back to Sentinel-2 with National SK DEM displacements
29 Conclusions Sentinels suitable glacier mapping & surveying hazards mainland Norway & Svalbard For deriving glacier products: accurate DEM for orthorectification For utilizing full potential: need Sentinel 2B (ASAP)
