  • Disaggregating surface change mechanisms of a rock glacier

    How can multiple processes related to the deformation of an active rock glacier operating over different timescales be separated from each other? A preprint on the disaggregation of surface change mechanisms of a rock glacier has recently been published on Earth Surface Dynamics Discussions, an interactive open access journal of the European Geosciences Union. It…

  • Video on research of 3DGeo on change analysis methods at an active rock glacier

    Always been curious about how we develop our methods for 3D/4D change analysis? Then check out our new video on high-resolution and high-frequency monitoring of a rock glacier in Austria! Link to video LiDAR datasets of the rock glacier provide the basis for the development of 3D and 4D methods for geomorphic change quantification within…

  • High-frequency and high-resolution monitoring of rock glacier dynamics

    How do the dynamics of surface change on a rock glacier look like over an entire summer season? And how is rockfall activity and storage and talus supply from the headwall of a rock glacier related to patterns of its movement? These and other questions are currently investigated within the AHK-4D and Geomorph4D projects of…

  • Kick-off field campaign for AHK-4D project

    From 22 – 25 June, the first field visit within the project AHK-4D – High-resolution and high-frequency monitoring of the rock glacier Äußeres Hochebenkar (AHK) in Austria took place in the Austrian Alps. The aim of this project is to develop a methodology to quantify the magnitudes and frequencies of individual surface change processes of…

  • Open access publication of terrestrial laser scanning and terrestrial and UAV images of Alpine Regions in Austria

    Very interesting terrestrial laser scanning and terrestrial and UAV image datasets of different Alpine sites in Austria have just been openly provided on PANGAEA. The data are related to the first (2015) and second (2017) edition of the Innsbruck Summer School of Alpine Research – Close Range Sensing Techniques in Alpine Terrain and can, for…

  • ISPRS Innsbruck Summer School of Alpine Research 2015 in Obergurgl/Austria – Close Range Sensing Techniques in Alpine Terrain

    Together with colleagues from all over Europe we are organizing a Summer School of Alpine Research, which takes place from 5.7.2015-11.7.2015 in Obergurgl, Tyrol, Austria. Motivated students from geosciences/Earth sciences, environmental sciences, geomatics, GIScience, remote sensing, computer science, etc. will be working together in multidisciplinary teams to address challenges in Alpine Research using state of…
