In this project, researchers from the fields of geodesy, geophysics and meteorology collaborate to study glaciers in their role as important climate indicators as well as how glaciers affect the continental water cycle and interact with the Earth’s solid surface. In addition to taking long-term measurements at the Vernagtferner glacier in the Ötztal Alps, the researchers’ work also takes them to Norway, Iceland, the Pamir Mountains and the Karakoram Range. An additional focus area is the observation of geodynamic processes using the latest satellite geodesy methods.
