Remote Sensing based Monitoring
ICIMOD maintains a multi-level remote sensing based observation system for snow and glacier monitoring, including:
- Mapping and monitoring of glaciers and glacial lakes using Landsat and other high resolution satellite images
- Snow cover monitoring using MODIS
- Glacier mass change monitoring using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) and high resolution stereo satellite images
- Detailed investigation of glaciers in representative basins/sub-basins
