Abstract. The formation and development of glacial lakes in mountainous regions is one the consequences glacier recession. Such may drain partially or completely when stability their dams disturbed as a consequence impacts. We present case study from Central Asian mountain range Tien Shan – north-oriented tributary Adygine Valley, where retreat polythermal surrounded by permafrost has resulted several generations lakes. aim this was to analyse past different types influenced same glacier,...
Earth observation offers a variety of techniques for monitoring and characterizing geomorphic processes in high mountain environments. Terrestrial laserscanning unmanned aerial vehicles provide very resolution data with accuracy. Automatic cameras have become valuable source information—mostly qualitative manner—in recent years. The availability satellite revisiting time has gained momentum through the European Space Agency’s Sentinel missions, offering new application potential observation....
Surface state data derived from spaceborne microwave sensors with suitable temporal sampling are to date only available in low spatial resolution (25-50 km). Current approaches do not adequately resolve heterogeneity landscape-scale freeze-thaw processes. We propose derive a frozen fraction instead of binary information. This introduces the possibility monitor gradual freezing and thawing complex landscapes. Frozen fractions were retrieved Advanced Scatterometer (ASCAT, C-band) backscatter...
Understanding and evaluating possible changes in thermal conditions of urban settlements are crucial for risk assessment, adaptation to climate change sustainable development. This study presents the results a micro-scale measurement campaign conducted Vienna, Austria, investigate effects natural artificial surfaces on temperature humidity variability. The observational data set is used evaluation newly developed building-resolving model system PALM. Dragino LHT65 LoRaWAN air sensors were...
Abstract. Global warming and glacier retreat are affecting the morphodynamics of proglacial rivers. In response to changing hydrology, altered hydraulics will significantly impact future glacifluvial erosion channel development. This study analyses a evolution process at foreland Austria’s biggest Pasterze, by predicted runoff until 2050 based on glacio-hydrological model. A high-resolution digital elevation model was created an unmanned aerial vehicle, sediment sampled, one-dimensional...

<p>Spatially distributed winter snow accumulation over glaciers is an important information for a lot of purposes. Typically, depth on measured by manual probing or ground penetrating radar. The point measurements and density are then used to calculate the mass balance glacier.</p><p>In last decade remote sensing techniques such as LIDAR structure from motion (sfm) photogrammetry in combination with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have become more...
