Grosser Aletschgletscher: Photogrammetrische Auswertungen als Grundlage fur glaziologische Untersuchungen

Translated title of the contribution: The great Aletsch glacier. Photogrammetric evaluation as the basis for glaciological exploration

T. Kersten, M. Meister

Abstract

The authors use the Aletsch Glacier in Switzerland as an example of the uses of photogrammetry in the field of glaciology. A DTM of the area was obtained using aerial imagery at scale 1:12 000 from a survey in 1991. The three dimensional data obtained for the glacier tongue were compared to a previous DTM established using aerial imagery from 1987. The extent of glacial melt is quantitatively demonstrated. -M.Dean
