A new convenient tool for ice sheets exploration the fractal dimension

In this paper, we focus on the estimation of the Fractal Dimension of ice sheet surfaces from Synthetic Aperture Radar data. Thanks to the relation with the geophysical phenomena, which are responsible and drive the ice layer formation and evolution, the Fractal Dimension is a convenient parameter to classify, and discriminate icy layers of different types. Meaningful results obtained on a SentineI-1 C-band SAR image of the Antarctica ice sheet are presented.
