HeidelErg – live from the Erg Chebbi in Morocco (#4): Exploring physical geography and 3D GIScience in an aeolian sand dune field.
During the last three days of field work we not only acquired a lot of data at different sites in the Erg Chebbi. We also experienced various weather conditions including two sand storms, rain and sunny and hot days. Yesterday, one group measured ground control points for satellite and photogrammetric point cloud data with an…

Capturing Flood Risk Perception via Sketch Maps
The flood risk perception of people living in areas at risk can be a valuable source of information for mitigation and preparedness within disaster management. We apply a method based on sketch maps and questionnaires to capture this flood risk perception during case studies in Santiago de Chile. Results of our study can be found…

Continuing ground-based measurements at Arctic research site
For the fourth consecutive year, ground-based measurements of the dynamic, permafrost-underlain tundra landscape have been continued in Trail Valley (68°44’25” N 133°29’36” W). A team of permafrost researchers from the Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI) for Polar and Marine Research around PD Dr. Julia Boike conducted the measurements as part of a large expedition to the Canadian Northwest…

Live from the Ötztal Alps (#5): Exploring high-mountain 3D GIScience
On our last day in the Ötztal Alps, we had an exciting excursion from Obergurgl to Ramolhaus on 3006 m a.s.l. On our way up we could directly explore glacial history by passing the historical extents and related moraines of the retreating Gurgler glacier. The students also learned about geoarcheology and settlement history in the…
