Time series of glacier surface classifications in the Alps and Karakoram from Sentinel-2 data enhance our understanding of a changing climate and its impacts on glaciers across various climate zones.
Synergizing Hydrological Data Assimilation with Deep Learning across scales
To overcome computational unfeasibility of complex Snow Data assimilation framework in operational context we developed a Deep Learning based solution, tested across scales.
Assessing climate variability with a high resolution reanalysis over High Mountain Asia
A high-resolution, century-long reanalysis over High Mountain Asia has been generated using the Modèle Atmosphérique Régional (MAR) to investigate climate variability and long term trends.
Advancing Andean glacier modelling: High-resolution time-varying simulations of ice mass changes
We present time transgressive model outputs using generated glacial surface mass balance and temperature fields, injected into PISM, to improve regional modelling of Andean glaciers.
Bridging the Adaptation Gap: Assessing GLOF Risks and Response Strategies in the Hindu Kush Himalaya.
This study examines GLOF risks alongside response strategies adopted by HKH countries and the available international assistance supporting their implementation to identify critical adaptation gaps.
Unfreezing the Dynamics: Exploring Thermohydraulic Interplay in Frozen Soils Under a Changing Climate
Climate change drives more winter precipitation and complex freeze-thaw dynamics in mountain soils. Our experiments reveal altered infiltration and runoff, essential for future hydrological modelling.
Gravimetry: a powerful monitoring method for alpine cryological and hydrogeological processes
Measuring Δg using a portable gravimeter lets us “see” underground to measure ground ice and groundwater storage changes!
Multi-sensor satellite observations of snow area extent and snow state conditions in mountain regions
This presentation focuses on an advanced method to retrieve Snow Cover Extent (SCE) from optical sensors and wet snow classification from SAR data in mountains.
Integrating CARTOSAT-1 and ASTER Digital Elevation Models to Refine and Enhance Long-Term Geodetic Glacier Mass Balance: A Case Study of Chhota Shigri Glacier, Western Himalaya
This study combines CARTOSAT-1 and ASTER data to enhance glacier mass balance estimates (2002-2024), improving accuracy by correcting ASTER-based elevation changes using CARTOSAT-1 observations.
Quantifying heterogeneous glacier dynamics in Lunana, Bhutan, using high-spatiotemporal resolution satellite imagery
We use high resolution PlanetScope imagery to quantify the effect of proglacial lake expansion on ice dynamics in the Bhutanese Himalaya in order to understand rapid retreat in the region.
