In recent years airborne and spaceborne remote sensing have developed into a widely
applied tool for archaeologists. In glacial archaeology, it has been employed success-
fully, but could see a wider application among practitioners. This article summarizes
common remote sensing approaches useful to archaeologists in cryogenic environ-
ments. It covers simple applications using easily accessible data in order to enable
the practitioner to monitor melt and contextualize archaeological sites within a larger
landscape setting. The improved resolution and availability of remote sensing data
enhances its usefulness with regards to identifying, documenting and monitoring sites
in frozen environments and is a valuable addition to most field research pertaining to
glacial archaeology.
