dc.descriptionWilliam D. Harcourt acknowledge PhD studentship funding from SAGES and EPSRC (grant number: EP/R513337/1). Funding for the Svalbard data was provided by a grant from the Research Council of Norway, project number 291644, Svalbard Integrated Arctic Earth Observing System–Knowledge Centre, operational phase, as well as from the RGS, SAGES, and the University of St Andrews.en
dc.description.abstractClose-range sensors are employed to observe glaciological processes that operate over short timescales (e.g. iceberg calving, glacial lake outburst floods, diurnal surface melting). However, under poor weather conditions optical instruments fail while the operation of radar systems below 17 GHz do not have sufficient angular resolution to map glacier surfaces in detail. This letter reviews the potential of millimetre-wave radar at 94 GHz to obtain high-resolution 3-D measurements of glaciers under most weather conditions. We discuss the theory of 94 GHz radar for glaciology studies, demonstrate its potential to map a glacier calving front and summarise future research priorities.
