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…

Continued capturing of an active rock glacier in 3D
For the fourth consecutive year, the 3DGeo team acquired the rock glacier Äußeres Hochebenkar in the Austrian Ötztal by terrestrial laser scanning. This adds another point cloud to the multitemporal dataset to observe how the active rock glacier changes over the years. In an elevation over 2600 m a.s.l., the complex terrain on and around…

Cutting-edge 4D LiDAR research in local newspaper
This morning, the Rhein-Neckar-Zeitung (RNZ) published an article (in German) about our research on 4D LiDAR for snow cover monitoring. The angle for the article by Doris Burger is the Environmental Research Station Schneefernerhaus near the summit of the Zugspitze, where members of the 3DGeo recently acquired a highly temporal 3D time series dataset of…

3D data acquisition in the Ötztal Alps – Exploring 3D GIScience on the “Monster of Rock”
As part of the practical field training “3D Geodatenerfassung im Hochgebirge (Ötztal), 31 July – 06 August”, the rock glacier “Äußeres Hochebenenkar” (42 ha), located in the Ötztal Alps in an elevation of 2,630-2,800 m a.s.l., was explored by 16 students under the direction of Bernhard Höfle, Stefan Hecht and Martin Hämmerle. With the help…
