The paper introduces ICIBS, a deep‑learning approach that enhances ice‑boundary segmentation by incorporating additional spatial and geo‑spatial context into the model. It reports state‑of‑the‑art performance on the IceAnatomy benchmark, achieving mean errors of 10.9 m (FAU subset) and 43.4 m (CReSIS subset), and demonstrates strong generalisation to new Patagonia data, outperforming baselines by 49.6 %. The authors provide the model code and dataset publicly on GitHub and Zenodo.

Cryo-Bench is a new benchmark that evaluates foundation models for cryosphere mapping, comprising six semantic‑segmentation datasets across five cryospheric components (supraglacial debris, glacial lakes, sea ice, calving fronts, and Antarctic ice‑shelf extent). The benchmark includes multispectral, RGB, and SAR observations from under‑represented regions and tests thirteen geo‑foundation models alongside U‑Net and Vision Transformer baselines. Results show that with frozen encoders U‑Net slightly outperforms TerraMind, but the difference is not statistically significant; fine‑tuning with learning‑rate optimization can dramatically improve performance for some models, while in few‑shot scenarios several foundation models retain over 90 % of their full‑label accuracy.
