InSAR time series analysis of Sentinel-1 data is used to detect landslides in glacier surroundings. The results are assessed in relation to glacier retreat and affected alpine hiking infrastructure.
Springs as climate refugia in a semi-arid mountainous ecosystem in Idaho, U.S.A.
Springs provide climate refugia, through lower interannual variability in late-season phenology and less coupling to climatic water balance and snowmelt timing compared to their surroundings.
Skin temperature trends in Alps: assesing the performance of MODIS thermal products
Satellite-derived skin temperature data shows promise in monitoring daily Alpine temperature trends, offering new potential for innovative environmental research.
Impact of Climate Change on Vegetation Dynamics in Alpine Ecosystems of the Kumaun Himalaya, Uttarakhand, India
This study analyzes 25 years of vegetation changes in Kumaun Himalaya using NDVI and climate data, highlighting climate-driven impacts on Grassland, Scrubland, and Forest Cover.
Assessing Permafrost Degradation and Slope Failures in the Indian Himalayas Using Field Evidence, GPR, Remote Sensing, and Machine Learning
We investigate the active layer dynamics and permafrost-induced degradation in the Himalayas using field surveys, remote sensing, and machine learning.
Assessment of Snow and Vegetation Cover Dynamics in alpine ecosystem in Uttarakhand, Central Himalaya
Using MODIS data (1999–2024) to analyze snow cover loss and vegetation shifts in Uttarakhand Himalaya, highlighting ecological changes with potential water resource, economic, and social impact.
Mapping Glacier Foreland Features and their Evolution Using Earth Observation Data
We use optical and SAR EO data to map and monitor landform features in glacier forelands, providing insights into landscape evolution and supporting alpine infrastructure management in changing

EVEREST project brings together scientists and managers in the co-design, co-production, and validation of methodological framework to provide remote-sensing essential biodiversity variables.
Reimagining historical and repeat photographs for Indigenous land use planning
We will present on a collaboration between Iyarhe (Stoney) Nakoda Nation and the Mountain Legacy Project to repurpose a colonial photographic archive in support of Indigenous resurgence.
Downscaling Remote Sensing Data for Mountain Glacier Mass Balance
The study focused on remote sensing data downscaling to improve glacial mass balance estimates by integrating altimetry and gravimetry to enhance model-data comparisons and refine glacier modeling.
