Welcome to the EOC Geoservice

The IceLines dataset provides information on Antarctic ice shelf front dynamics. This allows conclusions on iceberg calving mechanisms and to observe changes in the Antarctic coastline. On the basis of Sentinel-1 data, the fronts of the largest ice shelves of Antarctica are continuously mapped with a deep learning approach (HED-Unet) [1] [2]. The generated dataset includes front positions for 36 ice shelves with a daily, monthly, seasonal and annual temporal resolution since the launch of Sentinel-1 in 2014. IceLines is updated on a monthly basis and can be explored via the EOC GeoService Webapp [3] or directly downloaded from the EOC Download Service [4]. Further information on the product is available on a separate DLR website [5].
