OEAW Earth System Sciences - Hidden.ice (May 2019 - May 2022)

The overarching goal of the project "Hidden.ice - Changing debris cover on Eastern Alpine glaciers: Quantification and hydrological impacts" is the generation and evaluation of a scientific base line for debris cover on Eastern Alpine glaciers for a) consideration in future glacier and runoff scenarios, b) for the development of monitoring systems for glacier hazards in connection with the relocation of debris and c) for the of hydraulic sediment transport modelling in high mountain catchments. ENVEO is responsible for the multi-temporal detection of debris cover on glaciers in Austria from high resolution optical satelltie data.

Financed by the Austrian Academy of Sciences' (OEAW) Research Programme Earth System Sciences (ESS).
