At the GIS Day on November 13, 2019, we presented MORPH and citizenMorph. Particularly, we tested the citizenMorph App with two groups of students from secondary schools as well as with bachelor students from the University of Salzburg. The feedback was very helpful to further improve the app and to raise interest among young people.
Daniel Hölbling was invited to give a talk about “Remote Sensing for Landslide Mapping” at the Department of Remote Sensing, CzechGlobe, Czech Academy of Sciences, in Brno, Czech Republic, on October 15, 2019. In his presentation he focused on various remote sensing methods for landslide mapping and monitoring, showed examples from different study areas and […]
A field trip to the southern parts of Iceland was performed in September 2019. The study areas Hekla and Öræfajökull were visited to collect field reference data (GPS measurements, field photos, surface temperature measurements) and to meet the collaboration partners from the South East Iceland Nature Research Center (NATTSA). In Höfn we conducted a workshop […]
The Gi4DM (GeoInformation for Disaster Management) 2019 conference took place in Prague, Czech Republic, from 3-6 September. Zahra Dabiri presented a paper entitled “Assessment of Landslide-Induced Morphology Changes Using an Object-Based Image Analysis Approach: A Case Study of Hitardalur, Iceland”. The paper focuses on the analysis of a large landslide and its impact on the […]
The 27th IUGG General Assembly 2019 took place in Montreal, Canada, from 8-18 July. Daniel Hölbling presented a poster (“Object-based Image Analysis for Lava Flow Morphology Classification using Optical and SAR Satellite Imagery“) with a focus on the automated mapping of lava morphology at the Krafla lava field in Iceland. The IUGG with its broad […]
On July 5, 2019, the citizenMorph project was presented at the AGIT conference in Salzburg, Austria. In her talk “Rahmenkonzept und Komponenten für Citizen Science Projekte. Das Projekt citizenMorph“, Nicole Ferber showed the framework and components of citizenMorph and how it is linked to the main project MORPH.
During a research stay in May/June at the Department of Geography, University of Bergen, Norway, Daniel Hölbling discussed research concepts and methods related to MORPH together with scientists from Bergen. Further collaboration was discussed during a workshop and meetings. Furthermore, joint field trips to landslides and glaciers were conducted.
The MORPH project was represented at the EGU General Assembly 2019 in Vienna, Austria, 7-12 April. Daniel Hölbling contributed to studies on the change of debris cover on glaciers of the Eastern Alps and on the application of convolutional neural networks for detecting earthquake-triggered landslides. Moreover, meetings with the collaboration partners from Iceland were held […]
Daniel Hölbling was invited to give a presentation at the Hekla, Öræfajökull & Remote Sensing Conference at the University of Iceland in Reykjavik, which was organized by the EMMIRS project and our Icelandic collaboration partners. In his presentation, he gave an overview of the current MORPH results and also introduced the citizenMorph project. In addtion, […]
During a one-week research stay at the Department of Geography, University of Bergen, Norway, Daniel Hölbling gave an invited talk titled “Landslide mapping using remote sensing: examples, opportunities and challenges” on September 27, 2018. In his presentation he focussed on semi-automated remote sensing methods for landslide mapping and monitoring, and he also introduced the MORPH […]
