This study emphasizes community-based approaches, better communication, and institutional support to improve GLOF mitigation, ensuring effective disaster preparedness and resilience.
Glacier-related mass movements and their impact on the landscape: examples from the Chilean Central Andes
Five glacier-related mass movements in the Chilean Central Andes during the last century are showcased. Based on field and remote-sensed geomorphologic evidence, their landscape impact is discussed.
Cross-border harmonization of site-specific avalanche risk assessment: the CAIROS project promotes the role of local avalanche commissions
Avalanche commissions are panels of local people that mitigate avalanche risks. The CAIROS project aims to strengthen their role.
Modelling the disappearing glaciers of Western Austria
Modeling shows with +1.5°C, 2.7% of Ötztal/Stubaital glacier volume remains by 2100. With +2°C, this volume is reached 30 years earlier, leading to near-total loss by 2100.
Pictorial sources in glaciology: from the icy splendour of the Little Ice Age to the melting glaciers of today
Our interdisciplinary approach examines the historical attention by naturalists to glaciers and their visual representation. Historical images are systematically analysed to reconstruct past glaciers.
Nexus of Science and Society in Risk Perception: Lessons from the 2012 Seti River Flash Flood in Nepal
This study explores integrating western science and local knowledge to understand flood risks, using Nepal’s 2012 Seti River flood as a case study, advocating for interdisciplinary approaches
Integrating Drone-based Ground Penetrating Radar and Thermal Infrared Imaging to Study Debris-Covered Glaciers
This presentation will discuss a novel technique for measuring glacier debris thickness using the combination of drone-based ground-penetrating radar and thermal infrared imaging.
Landsystems of the tropical high Peruvian Andes: glaciers, lakes, wetlands (bofedales) and catchment hydrology in Cordillera Vilcanota (Southern Peru)
Ee outline the hydrological and geomorphological relationships between glaciers, high-altitude wetlands and downstream hydrology in the Cordillera Vilcanota, Cuzco region, Peru.
Combining efforts on high temporal resolution and near real-time glacier monitoring in Central Asia and Switzerland
Here we provide an overview of the recent progress in Central Asian and Swiss glacier monitoring programs in terms of real-time measurements and their interpretation.
Integrating remote sensing and ground-based observations for glacier melt modeling in remote high-altitude regions
We applie an enhanced T-index melt model to Passu Glacier, integrating remote sensing, in situ AWS, and ablation stake data to improve radiative flux estimation and glacier melt distribution in 2023.
