Optical Remote Sensing of Glacier Characteristics: A Review with Focus on the Himalaya
The increased availability of remote sensing platforms with appropriate spatial and temporal resolution, global coverage and low financial costs allows for fast, semi-automated, and cost-effective estimates of changes in glacier parameters over large areas. Remote sensing approaches allow for regular monitoring of the properties of alpine glaciers such as ice extent, terminus position, volume a...
متن کاملMulti-decadal mass loss of glaciers in the Everest area (Nepal Himalaya) derived from stereo imagery
Mass loss of Himalayan glaciers has wide-ranging consequences such as changing runoff distribution, sea level rise and an increasing risk of glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs). The assessment of the regional and global impact of glacier changes in the Himalaya is, however, hampered by a lack of mass balance data for most of the range. Multi-temporal digital terrain models (DTMs) allow glacier...
متن کاملA spatially resolved estimate of High Mountain Asia glacier mass balances, 2000-2016
High Mountain Asia hosts the largest glacier concentration outside the polar regions. These glaciers are important contributors to streamflow in one of the most populated areas of the world. Past studies have used methods that can only provide regionally-averaged glacier mass balances to assess the High Mountain Asia glacier contribution to rivers and sea level rise. Here we compute the mass ba...
متن کاملFusion of Multi-Source Satellite Data and DEMs to Create a New Glacier Inventory for Novaya Zemlya
Monitoring glacier changes in remote Arctic regions are strongly facilitated by satellite data. This is especially true for the Russian Arctic where recently increased optical and SAR satellite imagery (Landsat 8 OLI, Sentinel 1/2), and digital elevation models (TanDEM-X, ArcticDEM) are becoming available. These datasets offer new possibilities to create high-quality glacier inventories. Here, ...
متن کاملHypsometrical Change of Gangotri Glacier since 1968 using Multitemporal DEM's
Precise estimate of glaciers, directly or indirectly influence most of the glaciological studies like ice extent, terminus position, mass balance studies, etc, thus mapping of snow and ice covered areas have continuously been one of the foremost scientific goals. Difficult access and unpredictable atmospheric condition that characterize the glacier areas have created remote sensing the foremost...
