Coherent Scatterers detection: Application over glacier terrain using TerraSAR-X time series data

This paper investigates the detection of Coherent Scatterers (CSs) in ice and glacier terrain by means of TerraSAR-X time series data in the test site of the Helheim Glacier in Greenland. CSs are evaluated with respect to detection and potential applications. Applying optimized detection scheme can be useful for retrieving information about the glacier movement using time series data. Finally, some conclusions about the temporal stability of natural CSs are obtained by analyzing the rocky area around the glacier.
