Typical for remote sensing [...] research? In our group we focus on the ice sheets of Antarctica and Greenland, on sea ice, and on permafrost regions. Typical questions are: Which sea ice types can be separated in radar images? How do polynyas [...] and deformation? Which sensor combinations are optimal for classification of land cover units in permafrost regions? How can we retrieve snow accumulation rates from satellite data? The results of our analyses
