Abstract | Hyperspectral imaging is a valuable analytical technique with significant benefits for environmental monitoring. However, the application of these technologies remains limited, largely by the cost and bulk associated with available instrumentation. This results in a lack of high-resolution data from more challenging and extreme environmental settings, limiting our knowledge and understanding of the effects of climate change in these regions. In this article we challenge these limitations through the application of a low-cost, smartphone-based hyperspectral imaging instrument to measurement and monitoring activities at the Greenland Ice Sheet. Datasets are captured across a variety of supraglacial and proglacial locations covering visible and near infrared wavelengths. Our results are comparable to the existing literature, despite being captured with instrumentation costing over an order of magnitude less than currently available commercial technologies. Practicalities for field deployment are also explored, demonstrating our approach to be a valuable addition to the research field with the potential to improve the availability of datasets from across the cryosphere, unlocking a wealth of data collection opportunities that were hitherto infeasible. |
