A novel method extracts glacier velocity time series with uniform intervals, improving seasonal analysis. Validated in High Mountain Asia, it refines uncertainty using Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 data.
Introducing The Glacier Stewardship Program – an international team responding to the global loss of glaciers
The Glacier Stewardship Program is introduced by international scientists to slow ice loss, enhance hazard warnings, and preserve glacier biodiversity for future climate resilience.
A Ground Motion Sensitivity Index (GMSI) to facilitate the interpretation of satellite-based radar measurements in alpine terrain
We present a novel ground motion sensitivity index (GMSI) map that combines information data reliability, measurement sensitivity, and radar visibility
Climate impact from two decades of forest change in the Himalayas.
Himalayan forests sequestered 129.9 MtCO₂eq (2000-2021). Nepal’s forests achieved net sequestration of 73.4 MtCO₂eq. Eastern Himalayas are a long-term and high-density carbon sink.
Post-disturbance forest recovery varies with climate and disturbance gradients in the European Alps
We investigate how post-disturbance recovery in the Alps varies across environmental gradients and how vapor pressure deficit influence recovery, using multi-decadal Earth observation data
Calibrating future glacier projections using data assimilation
Using ensemble-based data assimilation to calibrate glacier model parameters for future projections of glacio-hydrological indicators in Scandinavia
Mountain Festival in KSL-India: A Reflection of Mountaineering Culture
The Kailash Sacred Landscape in Uttarakhand blends cultural traditions, mountaineering heritage, and sacred festivals, fostering a deep connection between local communities and the mountainous terrain
Impacts of drought events on Mountain Forests: from individual tree responses to satellite-based assessment
We aim to assess the impact of drought on forests by linking and calibrating Remote Sensing observations to a unique intra-annual time-series of carbon fixation.
Monitoring permafrost degradation and its effects on high-mountain infrastructures
Remote sensing and in situ geophysics methods to monitor permafrost degradation and its impact on high-mountain infrastructure stability in selected case studies across the Austrian and Italian Alps.
Potentials and challenges of the free SPOT 5 HRS stereo archive to derive glacier elevation changes: an evaluation in the alpine region and Iceland
The SPOT 5 HRS archive provides high-resolution DEMs via stereo photogrammetry, enabling regional glacier elevation change estimates from the early 2000s, crucial for long-term geodetic mass balances.
