| 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. |
