We are researching the effects of past (since about 1850) climate change on the Alps. For more detailed information about our project and the working groups please have a look at the menu items.
On this page we report about current fieldwork activities and presentations of our research at conferences or in public:
Katharina Ramskogler from the Department of Botany, University of Innsbruck, investigated plant colonisation at the Zufallferner glacier foreland (Martell Valley). Within 5 x 2 m… Our figure (see below) depicts morphodynamics of almost 50 years (between 1970 and 2006, and between 2006 and 2019, respectively) of two lateral moraine sections… Vegetation surveys were carried out along an elevation gradient from the treeline (2170 m above sea level) to the subnival belt (2745 m a.s.l.) of… Newspaper articles and Television broadcasts about the SEHAG project have been published already. Here you can find a list with links to some of them…. Historical photogrpahs allow a journey into the past that can provide valuable insights for working on the project’s goals. The first step in analyzing a… Florian Haas and a team from KU Eichstätt-Ingolstadt successfully conducted a survey of the Horlachtal and Martelltal study areas with our mobile laser scanner mounted…
