  • Abstract
    An incoherent amplitude correlation approach is used to derive ice motion fields of three major outlet glaciers of the Patagonia Icefields. High resolution repeat pass TerraSAR-X data of 2008 and 2009 were analyzed. The strong gradients in ice velocity of the terminus of San Rafael glacier, ranging from 2 to 16 m d-1, were captured well. Significant acceleration of the ice flow and losses in mass were observed for Upsala glacier.
