High Resolution DEM Generation in High-Alpine Terrain Using Airborne Remote Sensing Techniques
Up-to-date and accurate digital elevation models (DEMs) are essential for many applications such as numerical modeling of mass movements or mapping of terrain changes. Today the Federal Department of Topography, swisstopo, provides Digital Terrain Models (DTMs) and Digital Surface Models (DSMs) derived from airborne LiDAR data with a high spatial resolution of 2 m covering the entire area of Sw...
متن کاملDetermination of the Equilibrium Line on an Alpine Glacier Using Remote Sensing Data Fusion Techniques
Highresolution remote sensing satellite data serve as a source for equilibrium line (EL) analysis on top of glaciers. Data fusion techniques are used in order to take advantage from both the multispectral and panchromatic information available from simultaneously acquired IRS-LISS and -PAN recordings. As a result of segmentation between snow and ice the EL is derived based on multispectral clas...
متن کاملSoil erosion modelled with USLE and PESERA using QuickBird derived vegetation parameters in an alpine catchment
The focus of soil erosion research in the Alps has been in two categories: (i) on-sitemeasurements, which are rather small scale point measurements on selected plots often constrained to irrigation experiments or (ii) off-site quantification of sediment delivery at the outlet of the catchment. Results of both categories pointed towards the importance of an intact vegetation cover to prevent soi...
متن کاملIdentification of Invasive Species Using Remote Sensing and Vegetation Indices, (Case Study: Vazroud Rangelands, Iran)
Biological invasions form a major threat to the provision of ecosystems productsand services and can affect ecosystems across a wide spectrum of bioclimatic conditions.Therefore, it is important to systematically monitor the spread of species over broad regions. Ithas long been recognized that remote sensing and geographical information system couldcontribute to this capacity. This paper aims t...
متن کاملVegetation ecotone dynamics in Southwest Alaska during the Late Quaternary
To examine Late Quaternary vegetation change across the modern vegetation gradient from continuous boreal forest (central Alaska) to Betula shrub tundra (Bristol Bay region), pollen records from Idavain and Snipe Lakes are described and compared to those of four other sites in southwest Alaska. Major features of the vegetation history at Idavain Lake include herb-dominated tundra (ca. 14}12 ka ...
