#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.

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

Yes, and the data (incl. you guys 😀) will be made openly available within the next months. See our research project AIMon5.0 (www.uni-heidelberg.de/aimon) for more infos. There you can also find some nice videos about our research together with TUM, HS Bochum and DMT (www.swr.de/swraktuell/r...).
