| This project aimed at the elaboration of high resolution mapping of ice-free surfaces in Antartica (namely in King George Island). The level of detail of this cartography is fundamental to better evaluate the evolution of the landscape in one of the regions of the Earth where the climate changes are evolving faster, using remotely sensed imagery of very high resolution with own platforms and sensors in order to overcome the frequent atmospheric drawbacks and permit its swift acquisition in the narrow windows of opportunity. |
