Today, Sebastian Buchelt gave a presentation about “Detecting small-scale patterns of rock glacier surface kinematics in the Central Alps using Differential SAR Interferometry”. He provided insights into his latest results about spatial patterns of rock glacier kinematics. These results were presented in the online seminar series of the IPA Action Group “Rock glacier Inventory and Kinematics” (RGIK). He showed that seasonal acceleration in the snow free summer months and the proportion of subsidence on the overall movement varies strongly within rock glacier units and can help to get a better understanding on current dynamics as well as internal structure of these landforms. More details on his research can be found in the following publication:

Überwiegend werden eigene originäre Texte und Bilder des EORC genutzt, jedoch sind einige Inhalte von blog post Texten teilweise mit Hilfe von KI überarbeitet worden und einige Bilder sind ganz mit KI erstellt, die jedoch deutlich keine photorealistische Darstellungen abbilden. Aussnahmen sind KI generierte fernerkundliche Datensätze, die explizit für Forschungszwecke mit KI erstellt wurden, hier wird aber durch den assoziierten Text der wissenschaftliche Grund der KI generierten Bilder erläutert.
