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.
Assessing the effects of glacier retreat on alpine trails and huts to support alpine hiking infrastructure management
Earth observation-based mapping of glacier retreat effects enables a more detailed assessment of impacts on alpine infrastructure, expected increases in maintenance effort and risks for mountaineers.
Changing ablation patterns on glaciers in the Alps and Karakoram observed by means of Sentinel-2 data
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.
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.
Living in Mountain Areas in Protohistory: New Approaches to Territorial Analysis in Central Italy.
This study examines Late Bronze Age upland settlements in Central Italy using LiDAR and archaeological data to analyze settlement patterns, defense strategies, and new methodological approaches.
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.
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.
Incorporating snow persistency data into a hydrological modelling framework
Spatial distribution of SWE estimated by a semi-distributed hydrological model using multi-source high-resolution daily SCA data and topographic parameters
Estimating complex topographic changes in mountain regions from 3D point clouds
We regard the topographic evolution change as the deformation of Riemann manifold surfaces to estimate rigid and non-rigid changes from point clouds for mountain monitoring applications.
