• Drone-Mounted Ultrawideband Radar for Retrieval of Snowpack Properties 

      Jenssen, Rolf-Ole Rydeng; Jacobsen, Svein Ketil; Eckerstorfer, Markus (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-02-13)
      Extracting snowpack parameters from snow cover on sea ice or land is a time-consuming and potentially high-risk task. Moreover, deriving such parameters by manually digging a snow pit evidently yields low area coverage. We, therefore, propose a practical solution to this problem by mounting an ultrawideband radar system onto an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to obtain information such as snowpack ...
    • Satellite detection of snow avalanches using Sentinel-1 in a transitional snow climate 

      Keskinen, Zachary; Hendrikx, Jordy; Eckerstorfer, Markus; Birkeland, Karl (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-04-18)
      Snow avalanches endanger lives and infrastructure in mountainous regions worldwide. Consistent and accurate datasets of avalanche events are critical for improving hazard forecasting and understanding the spatial and temporal patterns of avalanche activity. Remote sensing-based identification of avalanche debris allow for the acquisition of continuous and spatially consistent avalanches datasets. ...
