This repository contains Annual Damage Maps of Antarctic Ice Shelves, obtained from processing remote sensing observations with the NormalisEd Radon Transform Damage (NeRD) Detection method. We detect damage on Antarctic ice shelves from SAR imagery for the years 1997, 2000, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021; obtained from SAR data from the RadarSat mission (1997 and 2000) and Sentinel-1 EW GRD observations (2015-2021).


This repository provides the annual damage maps in two formats: netCDF and geotiff, organised in smaller spatial subsets for easier memory handling during data processing.


The damage maps are discussed in the the article "Damage development on Antarctic ice shelves sensitive to climate warming" by M. Izeboud, S.Lhermitte, S. de Roda Husman and B.Wouters, in review at Nature Climate Change, 2025.


The NeRD method is discussed in the article "Damage detection on antarctic ice shelves using the Normalised Radon Transform" by M. Izeboud and S. Lhermitte, Remote Sensing of Environment (doi: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rse.2022.113359); available at github.com/mizeboud/NormalisedRadonTransform
