#Fieldwork summer 2025 was a very special one. In the #Austrian Alps the good weather periods were very limited and only spontaneous campaigns were possible. Gladly, we were able to capture highly valuable 3D LiDAR data for our new research projects in Austria such as at the #Schesaplana mountain.

How walkable is your neighborhood? Senior citizens in #Mannheim can now share their views in an online survey, part of the research project "Silver Ways".
The survey results will be used to to support the development of safer, more accessible urban routes.

Damülser Mittagsspitze: One of the #icons of Vorarlberg, Austria.

It is very popular and easy to reach, but not so easy to summit for inexperienced hikers. It is an interesting 'dynamic' peak that we will investigate in more detail. @3dgeohd.bsky.social

#Geomorphology meets #Wine
This wineyard is the only one along the Moselle, dominated by Devoniam slate, in triassic sandstone (Buntsandstein). There was a major rockfall in 2023. @bernhardhofle.bsky.social , you are still observing in nearly Real-Time?!

🕷️ 🌿 Genetic biodiversity can be assessed directly via remote "sampling" and near real-time analysis of airborne environmental DNA (#eDNA). ❓ Is this a game changer for #biodiversity monitoring and #bioprospection? How can we bring the lab results back to the #spatial domain? (1/4)
