Open access publication of terrestrial laser scanning and terrestrial and UAV images of Alpine Regions in Austria

Very interesting terrestrial laser scanning and terrestrial and UAV image datasets of different Alpine sites in Austria have just been openly provided on PANGAEA. The data are related to the first (2015) and second (2017) edition of the Innsbruck Summer School of Alpine Research – Close Range Sensing Techniques in Alpine Terrain and can, for example, be used for surface change analyses between to epochs or the developement of new methods.

1) Multi-temporal terestrial laser scanning datasets acquired at the lower tongue area of the Äußeres Hochebenkar rock glacier, close to Obergurgl (2015, 2017)
  • Pfeiffer, J., Höfle, B., Hämmerle, M., Zahs, V., Rutzinger, M., Scaioni, M., Lindenbergh, R., Oude Elberink, S., Pirotti, F., Bremer, M., Wujanz, D. & Zieher, T. (2019): Terrestrial laser scanning data of the Äußeres Hochebenkar rock glacier close to Obergurgl, Austria acquired during the Innsbruck Summer School of Alpine Research. PANGAEA. DOI: https://doi.pangaea.de/10.1594/PANGAEA.902042.

2) Terrestrial and UAV images and point clouds and ground control points of the Rotmoos valley close to Obergurgl in Austria (2015, 2017)

(2019): Terrestrial and unmanned aerial vehicle images of the Rotmoos valley bottom near Obergurgl, Austria with coordinates of corresponding ground control points acquired during the Innsbruck Summer School of Alpine Research 2015 and 2017. PANGAEA. DOI: https://doi.pangaea.de/10.1594/PANGAEA.898939.

3) Multi-temporal terrestrial laser scanning data of the Nesslrinna landslide and its surrounding close to Obergurgl, Austria (2015, 2017)

  • Pfeiffer, J., Wujanz, D., Zieher, T., Rutzinger, M., Scaioni, M., Höfle, B., Lindenbergh, R., Oude Elberink, S., Pirotti, F., Bremer, M. & Hämmerle, M.

DOI: https://doi.pangaea.de/10.1594/PANGAEA.901293.

This June, the third edition of the Innsbruck Summer School of Alpine Research will take place in Obergurgl and the investigated sites might be revisited to extend the published datasets.
