To better understand the changes, this study utilises Uncrewed Aerial Vehicle (UAV) technology equipped with a thermal camera to investigate ground and water temperatures in the catchments of southwest Spitsbergen. This approach provides high-resolution, real-time data, offering a detailed understanding of surface temperatures in this remote and harsh environment. Integrating UAV technology with in-situ measurements enables data collection at high spatial and temporal scales, facilitating a thorough analysis of temperature trends and patterns. The research introduces a new processing workflow using open-source packages to create thermal orthomosaics, which enhances the accuracy and efficiency of the analysis. The final developed orthomosaics, with a spatial resolution of 5cm, examine spatial variations in ground temperature and explore factors influencing land and water surface temperatures. Additionally, it investigates thermal patterns in Arctic hydrological systems, such as channels and ponds, allowing for identifying and characterising flow paths in the catchments, including groundwater intrusions and surface water mixing. This multidimensional approach aims to provide valuable insights into the complex interactions between cryo-, hydro-, and meteorological dynamics in the High Arctic. 15.486389 15.56276 77.005588 77.014778 15.521727250000001 77.01020925 2022-06-22T00:00:00 2023-09-17T00:00:00 National Science Center - Poland NCN https://www.ncn.gov.pl/?language=en https://doi.org/10.13039/501100004281 2020/38/E/ST10/00139 Applied remote sensing and geophysical imaging in recognition of the changes of the water balance in High Arctic catchments https://www.researchinsvalbard.no/project/20000000-0000-0000-0000-000000010089/project-info Ariebekken_UAV 77.014778 15.494861 Spitsbergen, Svalbard 2023-07-06T00:00:00 77.010191 15.486389 Uncrewed Aerial Vehicle [thermal] UAV thermal Fuglebekken_UAV 77.01028 15.542899 Spitsbergen, Svalbard 2022-06-22T00:00:00 77.005588 15.56276 2023-09-17T00:00:00 Uncrewed Aerial Vehicle [thermal] UAV thermal 24 CC-BY-4.0 Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Date Date http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601 Alphonse Abhishek Bamby balphonse@igf.edu.pl 0000-0003-2641-9603 Date Location Location location Alphonse Abhishek Bamby balphonse@igf.edu.pl 0000-0003-2641-9603 Location Raster graphic, GeoTIFF format GeoTIFF Uncrewed Aerial Vehicle [thermal] UAV thermal Alphonse Abhishek Bamby balphonse@igf.edu.pl 0000-0003-2641-9603 GeoTIFF Raster graphic, GeoTIFF format (File Size) GeoTIFF (Size) Bytes Uncrewed Aerial Vehicle [thermal] UAV thermal Alphonse Abhishek Bamby balphonse@igf.edu.pl 0000-0003-2641-9603 GeoTIFF (Size) [Bytes] CurationLevelB Basic curation https://wiki.pangaea.de/wiki/Curation_levels citable Arctic Surface Temperature Svalbard thermal infrared UAV author104140 author104141 author54576 author72562 award2872 curlevel20 event3175121 event3175122 funder21235 geocode1599 geocode1600 geocode1601 inst21524 license21 method16958 param152481 param1720 param512817 pi104140 term21516 term2663532 term40892 term47172 term47381 term47880 term68974
