We develop fundamentals for climate change adaptation.
We’re proud to contribute to a deeper, data-driven understanding of our rapidly changing alpine environment.
Many thanks to Henri Wagner (Heise) for shining a light on our research!

We are now operating three DJI Docks – located at Kitzsteinhorn and Sölden – enabling fully automated photogrammetric and thermal missions. These systems provide critical data for monitoring climate-driven surface changes, incl. glacier dynamics, snow cover variability, and sudden rockfall events.

This climate-change-induced trend is a growing #risk for #downstream #infrastructure, yet it's still often underestimated. Our latest ground-surface data from Sattelkar indicates rapid warming (+2 to +3 °C per decade!)

High-alpine cirques like the Sattelkar are major sediment reservoirs due to their concave, deposition-friendly morphology. Across the #Alps, we’re observing increasing #sediment export from such environments — driven by more intense summer rainfall, #permafrost degradation, and #glacier retreat.
