Transport of water from the sea, lakes and lowlands to the mountain ranges
Glaciers
Natural storages of large volumes of water that provide resilience to short term changes in climate but clearly reflect long term climate dynamics
Rivers
Transport of rain and meltwater to the vast downstream basins where billions of people depend on it for their livelihoods
Satellite data
Satellites provide unique ways to perform large scale analyses of glaciers, rivers and climate
Manual glacier mapping
Manual measurements of glaciers provide very detailed information on local glacier characteristics and processes
Unmanned aerial vehicles
UAVs provide high resolution data and thereby the possibility to analyse glacier surfaces with an up until now unprecedented combination of detail and scale
Discharge measurements
Learning the ins and outs of precipitation and meltwater contributions to streams and rivers in mountainous catchments
Meteorological measurements
Improve our understanding of high altitude meteorological dynamics and possible changes in the future
High altitude expeditions
Our research team often ventures high in the mountains to acquire the necessary data
