AMETHYST

Work at IGRAS

Within the scope of the project the Department of Glaciology IGRAS, fulfills different tasks. Variety of images, maps, publications, field data was collected processed and analysed. The list below shows some IGRAS inputs into the AMETHYST project:

- Concept of satellite hydrographic monitoring along Russian Arctic coasts, geographic description of test sites, review of the history of hydrographic surveys in the WeRA (together with JR_DIB and NIERSC)

- Technique for the radio-echo sounding data processing and interpretation, and reconstruction of ice thickness at glacier fronts and in marginal parts of several ice caps

- Physical-mathematical modelling of ice-shore changes due to the glacier flow and calving

- Field work (September, 2001) and estimation of the ice flux through glacier fronts in the Novaya Zemlya test site

- Development of data integration plan

- Processing of ERS-1/2-(IN)SAR data and ASTER data and comparison with available topographic maps

- Estimation of areal and linear changes of ice shores on three archipelagos

- Set of satellite image maps of the WeRA

- Regional inventory of ice shores in the WeRA

- GIS prototype for the WeRA (together with the NPOM)

- Development of RECORD database implemented in ARCTUR software (together with the NPOM)
