Record #116492:

Measurement of the fractal dimension of ice-sheet surfaces using Landsat data / W. Gareth Rees.

Title: Measurement of the fractal dimension of ice-sheet surfaces using Landsat data / W. Gareth Rees.
Author(s): Rees, W. Gareth.
Date: 1992.
In: International Journal of Remote Sensing. (1992.), Vol. 13(4) (1992)
Abstract: Method relies on correlation between surface slope and image brightness, and is applied to Landsat image of ice cap on Nordaustlandet, Svalbard. Two transects, 100 km in length, were studied and found to give consistent results. Surface shows strong evidence of fractal behaviour on scales between 0.3 and 10 km, with fractal dimension of 1.12 for transects of one (topological) dimension. Behaviour compared with that of underlying bedrock, which also displays fractal behaviour over same range of linear scales but with significantly larger fractal dimension of 1.38.
