UAV manufacturer senseFly from Switzerland uses our Lirung Glacier UAV study that was performed using their Swinglet CAM UAV as a case study to promote scientific use of their drones. Currently a glossy article is available and soon there will be an addition to their website as well.
Science has posted a news item on their website about our research on debris-covered glaciers, following from this upcoming publication:
Pellicciotti, F., Stephan, C., Miles, E., Immerzeel, W. W., & Bolch, T. (2015). Mass changes of the debris-covered glaciers in Langtang Himal 1974-2000 revealed by Hexagon and SRTM data, Journal of Glaciology, 61 (225), 1-27.

For Dutch school television the NTR wanted to create a short version of the Langtang research documentary. Some extra footage was shot today!
