Applied Remote Sensing for Climate Change Research
- What are the most devastating impacts of climate change possible in the Alps and
- How can we adapt to those impacts most likely to occur?
Ski mountaineering in 2000 m (January 10, 2007)
Mountain areas, in particular the Alps, are one of the regions most vulnerable to climate change in Europe. Temperatures in the Alps are rising at approximately twice the global average. Milder winters with a decrease in snow cover, hotter and drier summers, as well as an increasing frequency of extreme events, will put pressure on the very sensitive Alpine ecosystems and threaten the sustainability of economic and social systems.
The Institute for Applied Remote Sensing is invovled in various projects in close relation with relevant authorities and affected stakeholders on investigating the impacts of climate change on Alpine regions. Within the scope of these projects we are elaborating methods for assessing and monitoring the vulnerability of regions to climate change and support the development of adaptation strategies to mitigate the negative impacts of these changes.
