Remote sensing

My research focuses on mountain glacier changes from remote sensing observations. I use a combination of modern satellite images, declassified spy satellite, and historical airborne/terrestrial photographs to study the response of glaciers to climate change over the 20th century. I measure in particular two important glacier features: 1) their volume changes to assess their contribution to sea level rise and water resources and 2) the ice flow velocity, which constrain the glacier geometry and its sensitivity to a change in climate. My main areas of interest include High-Mountain Asia, the Andes or the European Alps, but I’m also interested in global scale observations.
