Training in Innovative Technologies for Close-range Sensing in Alpine Terrain – 3rd Edition

Aug 27th, 2020 by Vivien Zahs

The 3rd edition of the international summer school “Close-range Sensing Techniques in Alpine terrain” took place in Obergurgl, Austria, in June 2019. A group of 40 young researchers (mainly PhD students) participated to learn about various sensors, processing techniques, and analysis methods for different topics in high-mountain research.

A recently published article reports on results from the training and seminar activities and the outcome of student questionnaire survey. Comparison between the recent edition and the past edition in 2017 shows no significant differences on the level of satisfaction on organizational and training aspects. Gender balance was present both in candidates and in the outcome of selections. Selection was based on past research activities and on topic relevance. The majority of trainees were therefore doctoral candidates and postdoctoral researchers, but also motivated master students participated. The training took place through keynotes, lectures, seminars, in the field with hands-on surveys followed by data analysis in the lab, and teamwork for preparing a final team presentation over different assignments.

For assignments all sensors and platforms have to be carried to the field site of interest (top), sensors on hand-held, terrestrial  and  UAV-platforms have  been  studied  (top)  and finally  data  has  been  processed  and  analysed  by  participants (bottom).
