Historical aerial imagery from the US Airforce acquired in 1945 is used to determine glacier changes in the Austrian Alps.
Exploring Scale Interactions and Feedback Mechanisms in Glacier-Atmosphere Dynamics in Mountain Regions: Insights from High-Resolution Simulations
Mountain glaciers drive climate feedbacks. Using simulations and transfer entropy, we reveal causal links, energy flux dynamics, and atmospheric interactions across scales.
Integrating process-based snow and glacier mass balance modelling at high spatio-temporal resolution
We explore the application of a recent fully distributed snow model based on mass and energy balance and including redistribution processes by wind and avalanches to glacierized Alpine catchments.
On sub-seasonal glacier snowline dynamics in Central Asia
We designed a novel method to retrieve snowlines from the MODIS surface reflectance products. Our results provide unique insight into the glacier snowline dynamics.
PFAS in cloud water and snow in alpine regions of Austria
In this study anlaysis of PFAS in cloud water and in snow samples from background regions and are related to available results from literature.
Assessment of Temperature Lapse Rate and Its Integration with Hydrological Modeling using AWS and MODIS data over the Uttarakhand Region
This study examines runoff variations in Uttarakhand’s Alaknanda and Mandakini Basins using MODIS-LST and SPHY models, showing climate-driven shifts in rainfall, snowmelt, glacier melt, and base flow.
Diurnal energy cycles and net water vapor fluxes in mountain watersheds
This work uses observations in an alpine catchment of snow cover, valley winds, and cloud cover to look feedbacks between alpine catchment hydrology and atmospheric processes.
Preparing for NASA SBG: fusing multi- and hyperspectral airborne and satellite data to create daily, high resolution snow albedo products
Our project combines multi- and hyperspectral reflectance data, spectral mixture analysis, and random forest machine learning algorithms to create better snow albedo measurements.
Assessment of glacial retreat and its influence on water availability in the Quillcay River Hydrographic Unit under CMIP6 climate scenarios (Period 2000-2050)
The research analyses the retreat of glaciers in the Quillcay River hydrographic unit (2000-2050) using satellite images and glaciological models under CMIP6 scenarios.
Dynamics of Mass Balance and Area Change of the Turgen-Aksuu Glacier (1970-2024)
The Turgen-Aksuu Glacier in Kyrgyzstan has decreased by 19% since 1965, showing significant negative mass balance trends, with ongoing retreat threatening regional water resources.
