The Arctic, Antarctica and High Mountain Asia are considered to be the most sensitive regions to global climate change, driven by cross-spheric interactions. Changes in these regions have a significant impact on the living environment and societal developments. The rapid development of satellite remote sensing technology has facilitated the observation and retrieval of critical environmental […]
