An Investigation into the Effects of Variable Lake Ice Properties on Passive and Active Microwave Measurements Over Tundra Lakes Near Inuvik, N.W.T.
(University of Waterloo, 2010-09-30)The accurate estimation of snow water equivalent (SWE) in the Canadian sub-arctic is integral to climate variability studies and water availability forecasts for economic considerations (drinking water, hydroelectric power ... -
RADARSAT-2 Polarimetric Radar Imaging for Lake Ice Mapping
(University of Waterloo, 2017-11-21)Changes in lake ice dates and duration are useful indicators for assessing long-term climate trends and variability in northern countries. Lake ice cover observations are also a valuable data source for predictions with ... -
Re-evaluating Scattering Mechanisms in Snow-Covered Freshwater Lake Ice Containing Bubbles Using Polarimetric Ground-based and Spaceborne Radar Data
(University of Waterloo, 2015-07-13)Lakes are a prominent feature of the sub-Arctic and Arctic regions of North America, covering up to 40% of the landscape. Seasonal ice cover on northern lakes afford habitat for several flora and fauna species, and provide ... -
Toward Automated Ice-Water Classification on Large Northern Lakes Using RADARSAT-2 Synthetic Aperture Radar Imagery
(University of Waterloo, 2018-05-22)Changes to ice cover on lakes throughout the northern landscape has been established as an indicator of climate change and variability. These changes are expected to have implications for both human and environmental ...
