Long-term velocity measurements at the rock glacier Outer Hochebenkar reveal an unprecedented speed-up in recent years to almost 50 metres. At the destabilized part, bare ice was exposed and sampled.
Global geodatabase of mountain glacier extents at the Last Glacial Maximum
An open-access global geodatabase of LGM mountain glaciers, synthesising over 16,300 reconstructions from 271 ranges to update knowledge, identify research gaps, and support climate–glacier modelling.
25 Years of Lake Evolution and Sediment Dynamics in a Proglacial Environment: The Case of Sulzsee, Obersulzbach Valley, Austrian Alps
Glacier-fed lakes in proglacial environments offer insights into sediment dynamics and climate adaptation. Lake Sulzsee shows significant patterns of sedimentation influenced delayed ice melt.
Safer Route Planning on Alpine Glaciers: A New Crevasse Dataset
We present a new crevasse dataset for Alpine glaciers, allowing safer route planning for mountaineers and field researchers.
Advancing satellite photogrammetric mapping of snow depth in high alpine terrain: a comparative study between Pléiades PHR and Neo
This study compares Pléiades PHR and Neo for snow depth mapping, showing Neo’s improved resolution and validating an automated cross-matching approach for precise, repeatable mapping in alpine terrain
Towards co-produced water management pathways to counteract deteriorating mountain water quality in the deglaciating Andes of Peru
We showcase the deglaciating Negro river catchment in Peru to disentangle the complex interactions between glacier retreat and changes in water quality in the context of long-term human health.
Snow-eater heatwaves of western North America
Snow-eater heatwaves have been less studied than rain-on-snow events, yet have the potential to increase in area, duration, frequency, and/or intensity in a rapidly changing climate.
Inferring precipitation information from multi-year aerial snow depth observations to improve input quality to a snow energy balance model
This work evaluates using snow distribution maps to inform precipitation input of a spatially distributed snow energy balance model to improve simulated snow depth across snow seasons.
Using digital technologies for the International Year of Glacier’s Preservation: The Glaciar app.
We are currently developing an app for the International Year of Glacier’s Preservation, that focuses on a citizen science approach to monitoring of climate change in glaciers and mountain areas.
Introducing Sentinel-1 SAR wet snow maps for glaciohydrological model calibration in the Himalaya-Karakoram
Present study demonstrates the use of Sentinel-1 SAR wet snow maps for calibrating the glaciohydrological model parameters for improving runoff estimates in data-scarce glacierized catchments.
