Across-Track and Multi-Aperture InSAR for 3-D Glacier Velocity Estimation of the Siachen Glacier

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2023
Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) remote sensing generally lacks deformation sensitivity in the along-track direction. In this proposed approach, across-track observations from conventional InSAR, using both ascending and descending passes,

Glacier area and volume changes of Hidden Valley, Mustang, Nepal from ~1980s to 2010 based on remote sensing [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the International Association of Hydrological Sciences, 2015
Glaciers are one of the important natural resources of freshwater and sources of water for hydropower, agriculture and drinking whenever the water is scarce.

Assessing Glacier Boundaries in the Ala-Archa Valley of Kyrgyzstan by Using Sentinel-1 SAR Dataset and High-Resolution UAV Imagery

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2023
The significant retreat of glaciers in terms of climate change compels researchers to increase the frequency of studies regarding the transformations occurring in glacier boundaries. In this study, we provided glacier area delineation of Ala-Archa valley

Comparison of Hydrological Patterns between Glacier-Fed and Non-Glacier-Fed Lakes on the Southeastern Tibetan Plateau

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2021
Lakes on the Tibetan Plateau have experienced variations over the last several decades, and the delineation of lake dynamics is favorable for the regional water cycle and can serve as important information for plateau environmental research.

Improving semi-automated glacier mapping with a multi-method approach: applications in central Asia [PDF]

open access: yesThe Cryosphere, 2015
Studies of glaciers generally require precise glacier outlines. Where these are not available, extensive manual digitization in a geographic information system (GIS) must be performed, as current algorithms struggle to delineate glacier areas with debris

Comparison of multiple glacier inventories with a new inventory derived from high-resolution ALOS imagery in the Bhutan Himalaya [PDF]

open access: yesThe Cryosphere, 2016
Digital glacier inventories are invaluable data sets for revealing the characteristics of glacier distribution and for upscaling measurements from selected locations to entire mountain ranges.

The GAMDAM glacier inventory: a quality-controlled inventory of Asian glaciers [PDF]

open access: yesThe Cryosphere, 2015
We present a new glacier inventory for high-mountain Asia named "Glacier Area Mapping for Discharge from the Asian Mountains" (GAMDAM). Glacier outlines were delineated manually using 356 Landsat ETM+ scenes in 226 path-row sets from the period 1999–2003,

Analysing the suitability of radiometrically calibrated full-waveform lidar data for delineating Alpine rock glaciers [PDF]

open access: yesISPRS Annals of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2013
With full-waveform (FWF) lidar systems becoming increasingly available from different commercial manufacturers, the possibility for extracting physical parameters of the scanned surfaces in an area-wide sense, as addendum to their geometric ...

Characterization of recharge components for delineation of a high-alpine rock glacier spring catchment, Ötztal Alps (northern Italy). [PDF]

open access: yesHydrogeol J
Abstract Rock glaciers provide shallow groundwater reservoirs that affect the hydrology of alpine headwater catchments. However, quantifying and identifying their temporally dominating recharge components, as well as delineating their hydrological catchment, can be challenging.

An enhanced index for debris-covered glacier boundary extraction, with emphasis on low-activity glaciers, using time-series SAR imagery

open access: yesInternational Journal of Digital Earth
Accurate delineation of glacier boundaries is essential for monitoring glacier changes. Debris-covered glaciers often resemble the textures of their surrounding terrain, making boundary extraction especially challenging.
