Abstract
The global warming may affect the cryospheric environment and many reports showed the retreat of glaciers, thinning of ice shelves and ice sheet on Antarctica. Retreat of mountain glaciers also might be explained in the same context. This paper aims to show how useful the ALOS / PALSAR data for cryospheric applications through the case study of two typical areas, one is rock glacier monitoring on Argentine Andes and the other is ice sheet on Dronning Maud Land, Antarctica.
