Abstract
ABSTRACTThis article presents an analysis of the drifting path of one of the two giant icebergs created from the Nansen Ice Shelf (NIS) collapse of 7 April 2016. The study was carried out using synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images of Sentinel-1 satellite. Six SAR images, captured after the collapse from 9 April to 12 May, were retrieved from the European Space Agency Scientific Data Hub and remapped onto an equidistant cylindrical projection. A processing scheme was implemented which consists of the following steps: (1) speckle filtering, (2) binary segmentation, and (3) iceberg centroid detection. The final result is the tracking of the iceberg, with its relative velocity, at the different time intervals.
