Live from the Ötztal Alps (#4): Exploring high-mountain 3D GIScience
We are blogging live from Ramolhaus at 3006 m a.s.l. After a 4-hours hiking tour with 1100 height meters we are now enjoying the impressive view over glaciers with “Kaiserschmarren” for lunch.

Live from the Ötztal Alps (#3): Exploring high mountain 3D geoinformation
On the last day of fieldwork in the rotmoos valley two groups (terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) and photogrammetry) set off to the rotmoos glacier again. A second TLS dataset was aqcuired which enables the students to perform a change detection or deformation analysis. The electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) group futher explored the pre-Quaternary relief in…

Live from the Ötztal Alps (#2): Exploring high mountain 3D geoinformation
Today was the second day of field work in the Rotmoos valley in the Ötztal Alps for our 16 students. The hot sun challenged the data acquisition but the impressive landscape makes up for every effort. The terrestrial laser scanning group climbed up the valley flanks to acquire a high resolution point cloud from an…

Live from the Ötztal Alps (#1): Exploring high mountain 3D geoinformation
As part of the practical field training “3D Geodatenerfassung im Hochgebirge (Ötztal)”, 29 July – 04 August, 16 students explore pyhsical geography in an impressive high-mountain environment in the Ötztal valley, Austria. With the help of terrestrial LiDAR, RTK GNSS, close range photogrammetry and electrical resistivity tomography (ERT), multi-source datasets will be captured for the…
