# Measuring Glacier Surface Velocity
#### Quinn Brencher, University of Washington

This set of Github Actions workflows allows you to measure horizontal glacier surface velocity from Sentinel-2 image pairs using [autoRIFT software](https://github.com/nasa-jpl/autoRIFT). No external accounts or API keys are required. These workflows were created for the Github Actions for Scientific Data Workflows workshop and the 2024 SciPy conference.

No external accounts or API keys are required. These workflows were created for the Github Actions for Scientific Data Workflows workshop at the 2024 SciPy conference.

## Usage
We use three workflows to make measurements of glacier surface velocity. For demonstration purposes the workflows are only set up to work over the [Yazghil Glacier](https://earth.google.com/earth/d/1myewNJrDEM0tW1_xdpWCYaRCGDcOBwiy?usp=drive_link) in Pakistan. To run the workflows, simply fork this repository, visit the "Actions" tab, and choose the `batch_image_correlation` workflow (which runs the other two workflows as well).
We use three workflows to batch process image pairs for glacier surface velocity. For demonstration purposes the workflows are only set up to work over the [Yazghil Glacier](https://earth.google.com/earth/d/1myewNJrDEM0tW1_xdpWCYaRCGDcOBwiy?usp=drive_link) in Pakistan. To run the workflows, simply fork this repository, visit the "Actions" tab, and choose the `batch_image_correlation` workflow (which runs the other two workflows as well).

### 1. `image_correlation_pair`
This workflow calls a Python script (image_correlation.py) that runs autoRIFT on a pair of spatially overlapping [Sentinel-2 L2A](https://docs.sentinel-hub.com/api/latest/data/sentinel-2-l2a/) images. It only requires the [product names](https://sentiwiki.copernicus.eu/web/s2-products) of the two images. The images are downloaded from aws using the [Element 84 Earth Search API](https://element84.com/earth-search/). Only the near infrared band (NIR, B08) is used which has a spatial resolution of 10 m. autoRIFT is used to perform image correlation. Search distances are scaled with temporal baseline assuming a maximum surface velocity of 1000 m/yr, so images acquired farther apart in time take longer to process. Surface velocity maps are saved as geotifs and uploaded as [Github Artifacts](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/storing-workflow-data-as-artifacts).
