Journal ArticleDOI
Remote sensing of glacier- and permafrost-related hazards in high mountains: an overview
Andreas Kääb,Christian Huggel,Luzia Fischer,S. Guex,Frank Paul,I. Roer,Nadine Salzmann,S. Schlaefli,K. Schmutz,Demian Schneider,Tazio Strozzi,Y. Weidmann +11 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide an overview of air and spaceborne remote sensing methods suitable for glacier and permafrost hazard assessment and disaster management. But the authors do not consider the use of satellite stereo-derived DTMs with the DTM from the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM).
Book ChapterDOI
Ice Loss and Slope Stability in High-Mountain Regions
Philip Deline,Stephan Gruber,Reynald Delaloye,Luzia Fischer,Marten Geertsema,Marco Giardino,Andreas Hasler,Martin P. Kirkbride,Michael Krautblatter,Florence Magnin,Samuel T. McColl,Ludovic Ravanel,Philippe Schoeneich +12 more
TL;DR: The authors examines the state of understanding of the responses of mid-latitude alpine landscapes to recent cryospheric change, and summarizes the variety and complexity of documented landscape responses involving glaciers, moraines, rock and debris slopes, and rock glaciers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessment of periglacial slope stability for the 1988 Tschierva rock avalanche (Piz Morteratsch, Switzerland)
TL;DR: In this paper, an approach to slope stability assessment is presented that copes with existing data limitations in an inaccessible alpine terrain, with careful consideration of data limitations prevailing in such areas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Slope failures and erosion rates on a glacierized high-mountain face under climatic changes
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the effect of massive slope failures in a glacierized and permafrost-affected high-mountain face with respect to the current climatic change.
Journal ArticleDOI
Monitoring topographic changes in a periglacial high-mountain face using high-resolution DTMs, Monte Rosa East Face, Italian Alps
TL;DR: In this article, a remote sensing-based approach for detailed topographic investigations in steep periglacial high-mountain faces was described, where a time series of high-resolution digital terrain models (DTMs) with a 2m resolution was produced from digital aerial photogrammetry for 1956, 1988 and 2001 and from airborne LiDAR for 2005 and 2007.
