Earth observation offers a variety of techniques for monitoring and characterizing
geomorphic processes in high mountain environments. Terrestrial laserscanning and …

Knowledge of current snow cover extent is essential for characterizing energy and moisture
fluxes at the Earth's surface. The snow-covered area (SCA) is often estimated by using …

Climate-induced changes in vegetation phenology at northern latitudes are still poorly
understood. Continued monitoring and research are therefore needed to improve the …

The extent and duration of snow cover, a critical component of the hydrologic cycle and the
global climate system, is expected to shift dramatically under climate change. Therefore …

Moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometry (MODIS) snow cover accuracy has been
assessed in the past at different scales, with various approaches and in relation to the many …

Snow cover is one of the crucial factors influencing the plant distribution in harsh Arctic
regions. In tundra environments, wind redistribution of snow leads to a very heterogeneous …

Snow cover variability has a significant impact on climate and the environment and is of
great socioeconomic importance for the European Alps. Terrestrial photography offers a …

Outdoor augmented reality applications project information of interest onto views of the
world in real-time. Their core challenge is recognizing the meaningful objects present in the …

Fractional snow cover (FSC) is an important parameter to estimate snow water equivalent
(SWE) and surface albedo important to climatic and hydrological applications. The presence …

Information on snow properties is of critical relevance for a wide range of scientific studies
and operational applications, mainly for hydrological purposes. However, the ground-based …
