Worldwide Assessment of National Glacier Monitoring and Future Perspectives [PDF]

Mountain Research and Development, 2019
It is widely accepted that glaciers are retreating throughout the world and that their decline causes serious impacts on many societies. Knowledge of glacier distribution and quantification of glacier changes is crucial to assessing the impact of glacier

Glacier Monitoring and Capacity Building: Important Ingredients for Sustainable Mountain Development

Mountain Research and Development, 2017
Glacier observation data from major mountain regions of the world are key to improving our understanding of glacier changes: they deliver fundamental baseline information for climatological, hydrological, and hazard assessments.

Continuous monitoring of a glacier’s extinction

Annals of Glaciology
Pizolgletscher, Swiss Alps, was already a very small glacier when the monitoring of length change was initiated 130 years ago. In situ mass balance measurements at seasonal resolution began in 2006.

Review of SAR imaging geodesy for glacier velocity monitoring

Geodesy and Geodynamics
The surface velocity is one of the most important characteristics of glaciers. Monitoring and mapping glacier movements are of great significance for the studies of sea-level rise, glacier mass balance and dynamics, global warming, and the management of ...

Mid-Term Monitoring of Glacier’s Variations with UAVs: The Example of the Belvedere Glacier [PDF]

Remote Sensing, 2021
Recently, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) have opened up unparalleled opportunities for alpine glacier monitoring, as they allow for reconstructing extensive and high-resolution 3D models. In order to evaluate annual ice flow velocities and volume variations, six yearly measurements were carried out between 2015 and 2020 on the debris-covered Belvedere ...

Worldwide version-controlled database of glacier thickness observations [PDF]

Earth System Science Data, 2020
Although worldwide inventories of glacier area have been coordinated internationally for several decades, a similar effort for glacier ice thicknesses was only initiated in 2013.

3D GLACIER MAPPING BY MEANS OF SATELLITE STEREO IMAGES: THE BELVEDERE GLACIER CASE STUDY IN THE ITALIAN ALPS [PDF]

The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2020
The authors group is within the Glacier Lab of Politecnico di Torino (part of the CC-LAB, a laboratory for climate change monitoring), which is working on glacier monitoring since 2016, mainly exploiting Geomatics techniques to measure the extent and to ...

Democratizing Glacier Data – Maturity of Worldwide Datasets and Future Ambitions

Frontiers in Climate, 2022
The creation and curation of environmental data present numerous challenges and rewards. In this study, we reflect on the increasing amount of freely available glacier data (inventories and changes), as well as on related demands by data providers, data ...

Classifying disequilibrium of small mountain glaciers from patterns of surface elevation change distributions

Journal of Glaciology, 2022
The overall trend of rapid retreat of Alpine glaciers contains considerable variability of responses at the scale of individual glaciers. As a step towards a regional assessment of glacier state that allows a detailed differentiation of single glaciers ...

ICEPY4D: A PYTHON TOOLKIT FOR ADVANCED MULTI-EPOCH GLACIER MONITORING WITH DEEP-LEARNING PHOTOGRAMMETRY [PDF]

The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2023
Glacier monitoring plays a crucial role in understanding the impacts of climate change on these dynamic natural systems. One or more time-lapse cameras are often employed to acquire short-term observations of glacier flow dynamics.
