| Zusammenfassung: | The international summer school Sensing Mountains, which was held for the first time in 2015 in Obergurgl (Austria), is a biannual event for early career scientists bringing together international researchers from Geosciences, Biosciences and Engineering for mapping and analysing of geospatial data in mountain environments. The summer school takes up the rapid developments in sensor innovations in close-range and remote sensing and teaches participants how to apply methods for quantifying changes in a highly dynamic environment. A vital combination of input talks by invited keynote speakers, hands-on lectures and supervised practical assignments comprising project planning, sensor handling, data acquisition (Fig. 1), data analysis, reporting and presentation (Fig. 2) gives insights in both challenges in fundamental mountain research and tailored data acquisition for aiding in scientific reasoning (RUTZINGER et al. 2022). Practical assignments in 2022 comprised multitemporal 3D observation of geomorphic surface activity using point cloud-based change analysis and virtual laser scanning, monitoring long-term mountain river change based on point-cloud comparison techniques, comparison of close-range sensing approaches and sensors for extracting forest parameters, remote sensing of tree needle moisture content, analysing high resolution land surface structure and temperature, measuring river flow velocities with unteamed aerial vehicles, and implementing a digital twin of a natural environment. The long tradition of Sensing Mountains made it possible to build up monitoring data sets of selected sites around the venue comprising different phenomena of Alpine geomorphology and ecology, which are published as open access data sets at the pangaea.de platform. The next edition of #sensingmountains will take place from 22 nd to 28 th September 2024 (https://www.uibk.ac.at/de/geographie/sensing-mountains/). |
