Zusammenfassung |
The potential of high-resolution repeat DEMs was investigated for
glaciological applications including periglacial features (e.g. rock
glaciers). It was shown that glacier boundaries can be delineated using
airborne LIDAR-DEMs as a primary data source and that information on debris
cover extent could be extracted using multi-temporal DEMs. Problems and
limitations are discussed, and accuracies quantified. Absolute deviations of
airborne laser scanning (ALS) derived glacier boundaries from ground-truthed
ones were below 4 m for 80% of the ground-truthed values. Overall, we
estimated an accuracy of +/−1.5% of the glacier area for glaciers larger
than 1 km2. The errors in the case of smaller glaciers did not exceed
+/−5% of the glacier area. The use of repeat DEMs in order to obtain
information on the extent, characteristics and activity of rock glaciers was
investigated and discussed based on examples. |
