A methodology is proposed to analyse the post-event conditions of an extreme meteorological event, using a combined change detection approach based on Sentinel-2 imagery and freely available data
From Mountains to Data: Low-Cost Weather Stations in Kyrgyzstan’s Challenging Terrain
2nd-tier weather stations and IoT sensors along with the LoRaWAN technology provide opportunity to monitor vast areas in the mountainous areas of the world and forecast natural disasters
Linking Progressive Rock Slope Deformation to Glacier Thinning at Portage Glacier
This study examines how glacier thinning drives progressive slope instability, with the failure linked to critical ice thickness thresholds and unfavourable structural conditions.
LiDAR-based modeling of the interaction between natural disturbances and wildfire behaviour: new outcomes for Italian Alpine forests
This research explores the combined effects of windstorms and bark beetle outbreak on wildfire behaviour in Italian forests, using ALS data and FlamMap modeling to assess changes in wildfire dynamics.
Analysis of Glacier Variation and Historical GLOF Events of Badswat Glacier using Geospatial Techniques
Glaciers are crucial freshwater resources. Badswat Glacier, vulnerable to climate change, has experienced multiple GLOF events, impacting agriculture, infrastructure, and communities. Monitoring and m
No-Shows in Field Monitoring: Aufeis Non-Formation Leading to Methodological Shifts and Broader Findings
The study explores how the non-formation of aufeis in Yukon led to a methodological shift, revealing new insights into winter hydrology and broader hydrological changes in deglaciating catchments.
Monitoring of Alpine environment with geomatics techniques
Mountain-top bird species face extreme conditions, shaping breeding site selection. We monitored alpine nests in temperate Andes. Rock cavities buffer temperatures, potentially enhancing breeding success and adaptation to harsh weather
Formation Patterns of Proglacial Aufeis and Hydrological Changes in Yukon, Canada
We analyze aufeis formation in a Yukon catchment, revealing winter hydrological shifts driven by glacial, periglacial, and meteorological factors, highlighting changes in water supply in cold regions.
Moist convection and tracer transport in the Third Pole region
The Third Pole plays a critical role in transporting and redistributing water vapour into the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere. With km-scale simulations process understanding is improved.
Tracking ecotones on aerial images with computer vision in a mountain forest landscape
Using computer vision on aerial images, we tracked forest and ecotone changes in Berchtesgaden National Park. Our model, integrating multiple image types, outperformed individual sensor-type models.
