Terrestrial Scanning / Topography & Monitoring

Glacier Monitoring Sulzbachkees, Alps, Austria 10.01.2007

Since 2001 the glacier-field “Sulzbachkees” was scanned several times to calculate the height- and length- decrease, which is supposed to be initialized by the global climate warming. The field work was done during the summer-months of 2001, 2003 and 2006, when reaching the glacier-field by hiking is possible. The paper describes the workflow and is visualizing the mass-balance of the glacier-field.Project partners are EGEO and Riegl LMS in coordination with university of Salzburg ( Institut of Geography ) and local government of Salzburg.
