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

Monitoring Glacier Outburst Floods [PDF]

Hydrology Research, 1980
A review is given of the phenomenon of glacier outburst floods. Geographical distribution, modes of occurrence of glacier-dammed lakes and modes of lake-emptying are discussed. Techniques of monitoring the filling and emptying of glacier-dammed lakes are

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 ...

Assessment of the Vertical Accuracy of Satellite-Based Glacier Monitoring. The Rutor Glacier in Italy [PDF]

Periodical monitoring of glacier extent and volume changes is a fundamental tool, considering the relevant changes and volume losses glaciers have been undergoing in recent years. The climatological changes leading to increasing hazards and related risks

Summary of International Glacier Monitoring Summit

, 2011
In the first week of September 2010, international experts on glacier monitoring convened in Zermatt, Switzerland, for two separate but related meetings. They discussed glacier data compiled over the past 150 years and how to improve this dataset to meet

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 ...
