CIRCLAR - Mapping and monitoring sorted stone circle fields with ultra-high resolution imagery in Maritime Antarctica

Completed
About
The main objective of this project is the mapping and monitoring of areas densely occupied by sorted stone circles in Maritime Antarctica using ultra-high resolution images captured by UAVs. The higher detail and larger extension of the areas covered contribute to a much better geomorphic description of this type of patterned ground and to a better understanding of the associated dynamic processes related to past climates. The study sites are located in Fildes and Barton Peninsulas (King George Island) where sorted stone circles are ubiquitous.
