During the last two summers, a new challenge on the schedule of Eastern Alpine glaciologists appeared: mapping glacier casualties. Satellite remote sensing, airborne and drone monitoring are promising
Mapping of Landscape Changes in Hohe Tauern National Park using the CC-HABITALP Method
This project addresses the gap in studying landscape changes in alpine habitats by using the CC-HABITALP method to identify key ecological processes in Hohe Tauern National Park in Austria.
Seasonality and Trends of Water Availability in the Tropical Andes: Insights from Vegetation Dynamics
Summarizing recent research, this contribution explores remote sensing-derived vegetation proxies to assess water availability in the tropical Andes, providing insights for climate impact assessment.
Challenges of Linear Assumptions in Remote Sensing Indices
Linear assumptions in remote sensing indices cause misinterpretations in averaging, scaling, and trend estimation, particularly in complex environments. We assess their challenges and implications.
Glacier Dynamics in the Indus Basin, Northwestern Himalayas: A Multi-Temporal Satellite Analysis
This study analyzes glacier changes in the Indus Basin (1997–2023) using Landsat imagery, revealing surface area loss, snowline shifts, and glacial lake expansion, highlighting climate change impacts.
Climate Variability and their implication on Kenyas Mt Elgon Grassland
Mt Elgon ecosystem has expansive areas of grasslands that support community livelihoods. Variability in precipitation is the major determinants of changes in size of land under these grasslands
Participatory Characterization of Hydro-Social Territories: Identifying Territorial Patterns and Power Relations in the Upper Valdivia River Sub-basin
A participatory approach to analyze hydrosocial territories, power dynamics, and water governance in the Upper Valdivia River Sub-basin.
Developing Principles for Digitally-Enabled Uplands Research
Reviewing digitally-enabled uplands research, this offers a starting point for future development of research principles emphasising interdisciplinarity, local engagement, and ethical data practices.
Key Drivers of Heterogeneous Glacier Area Variation in the Uttarakhand Himalaya
Uttarakhand glaciers lost 0.095% area yearly (2000–2023). Shape index and slope influenced stability, affecting deglaciation and water resources.
High-resolution assessment of rock glacier velocities at a subannual scale using UAV imagery – lessons learned from Dösen rock glacier, Austria
The contribution summarizes key findings and challenges of a high-resolution, sub-seasonal UAV approach to analyze rock glacier velocities at a key site of the Austrian permafrost research
