Remote sensing of glacier- and permafrost-related hazards in high mountains: an overview

Remote sensing of glacier- and permafrost-related hazards in high mountains: an overview

Process interactions and chain reactions, the present shift of cryospheric hazard zones due to atmospheric warming, and the potential far reach of glacier disasters make it necessary to apply modern remote sensing techniques for the assessment of glacier and permafrost hazards in high-mountains. Typ...
