ArXi:2604.09922v1 Announce Type: new Subsurface stratigraphy contains important spatio-temporal information about accumulation, deformation, and layer formation in polar ice sheets. In particular, variations in internal ice layer thickness provide valuable constraints for snow mass balance estimation and projections of ice sheet change. Although radar sensors can capture these layered structures as depth-resolved radargrams, convolutional neural networks applied directly to radar images are often sensitive to speckle noise and acquisition artifacts.
