Our colleague Vanessa Streifeneder is currently presenting our latest work in flood vulnerability analysis in the context of the heavy flooding in September 2024 in Austria at the International Conference on Flood Management in London (Canada). We are looking forward to a deeper exchange. #Flood
📢 New paper in Natural Hazards! "Geo-environmental controls on gully erosion in loess-covered regions: a geomorphological analysis and machine learning approach" doi.org/10.1007/s110...
📢 New paper! We are pleased to share that our article "Austria and Poland under the EU Floods Directive: vulnerability perspectives in flood risk management" has been published in European Planning Studies. doi.org/10.1080/0965...
Austria and Poland under the EU Floods Directive: vulnerability perspectives in flood risk management
The European Flood Directive (Flood Directive 2007/60/EC) has been pivotal in shaping Flood Risk Management (FRM) across the European Union. Aimed at reducing the risks and impacts of flooding, it ...

Land Use Change Alters Hydrological Drivers of Soil Erosion in the Tapesco River Watershed, Zarcero, Costa Rica
This study reveals how land use transitions and topographic factors have influenced soil erosion in a tropical peri-urban watershed from 1986 to 2019. Using RUSLE and GIS, we identified areas with pe...

During a recent visit to Nanjing University, our team members Daniel Hölbling and Elena Nafieva presented our ArcDune and ROGER projects. A field trip to the Chinese Loess Plateau and northern desert dune fields left us with truly memorable impressions. Many thanks for the outstanding hospitality! 🙏
📢We are hiring! 🌍 We currently have two open positions in #geoinformatics and #remotesensing - from fundamental PhD research to applied data science work. Details & application: 1.) karriere.plus.ac.at/en/jobs/9dae... 2.) karriere.plus.ac.at/de/jobs/d3a9... #geomorphology #earthobservation #InSAR
What happens to mountain trails, hiking infrastructure and safety as glaciers retreat and the terrain becomes unstable? We recently had the exciting chance to share insights from our ReHIKE project in a great film by the Deutscher Alpenverein. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XS5...

Happy to share our new paper on #remotesensing of #peatlands 👇! Our research can inform understanding on how #Sentinel-1 #SAR data can support the mapping of this unique habitat and provide some insight into its relative condition. Many thanks to @jarrettinho.bsky.social for the great collaboration.
Jarrettinho@jarrettinho.bsky.social · last yr.After 18 months of research with Dr Daniel Hölbling @zgis.bsky.social, our work on #Sentinel1 #sar to delineate #peatland has been published. www.mdpi.com/2072-4292/17... We have plenty more ideas to support #naturebasedsolutions. Check out our previous research www.mdpi.com/2335050 Get in touch.
Great success for our group! We obtained funding for two highly reputable projects from @fwf-at.bsky.social: D. Hölbling leads the project "MorphEO - Big Earth observation for geomorphic mapping and monitoring", and Z. Dabiri leads "Urban flood impact on transport systems in Poland & Austria". 👏🥳

Meet our team at the #LPS25 poster sessions: 23.06, 17:45, R25 – CopPhil, Carla Arellano 24.06, 17:45, F05 – Rock Glaciers (InSAR), Elena Nafieva 26.06, 17:45, Q01 – Glacier Retreat, Zahra Dabiri 27.06, 13:00, M25 – DL Rock Glacier Mapping, Vanessa Streifeneder See you there!
Being out in the field is always exciting! Recently, we went to the Großarl Valley in Salzburg to interpret and validate #rockglacier mapping results we create in our project "ROGER". Our main goal was to better understand remote sensing-based deformation and movement rates derived from #InSAR.
We can’t believe the #EGU25 is already half way through! We’re very grateful for all the discussions, new contacts, and meeting old friends! You can find us for the rest of the week at:
#EGU25 is starting today and our group kickstarts showcasings of our projects with 3 different posters. Hall X2 - 8:30 to 10:15 with results from the ROGER project: X2.38 - How well do InSAR measurements align with rock glaciers in the Austrian Alps presented by Elena Nafieva #InSAR #rockglacier
