Glacier Monitoring and Capacity Building: Important Ingredients for Sustainable Mountain Development [PDF]
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 GlaciologyPizolgletscher, 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.

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 ...

Monitoring Glacier Calving using Underwater Sound
The Cryosphere, 2023 Abstract. Climate shifts are particularly conspicuous in the Arctic. Satellite and terrestrial observations show significant increases in the melting and breakup of Arctic tidewater glaciers and their influence on sea level rise. Increasing melt rates are creating an urgency to better understand the link between atmospheric and oceanic conditions and ...

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.

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 ...

PHOTOGRAMMETRIC MONITORING OF GLACIER MARGIN LAKES [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2014 Abstract. The growing number of glacial margin lakes that have developed due to glacier retreat, have caused an increase of dangerous Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs) in several regions over the last decade. A GLOF can occur when the water from the lake finds a path underneath the bottom of the glacier and the lake is draining rapidly.
