Classification and kinematics of the Planpincieux Glacier break-offs using photographic time-lapse analysis

Abstract: Herein, we present results obtained from time-lapse imagery acquired by a digital single-lens reflex camera during 2014–18 used to monitor the Planpincieux Glacier on the Italian side of the Grandes Jorasses (Mont Blanc massif). We processed the images using image cross-correlation to measure the surface kinematics of the most active lobe of the glacier that presents a high velocity and frequent ice detachments. During the monitoring, we observed two or three periods of sharp acceleration per year that culmina… Show more

“…In recent years, among the various remote sensing techniques, further support has been provided by digital image correlation (DIC). DIC is an image analysis technique that has been widely applied to aerospace optical or SAR images to measure the surface deformation associated with landslides (Stumpf et al 2017;Bickel et al 2018;Caporossi et al 2018;Manconi et al 2018), glaciers (Scambos et al 1992;Debella-Gilo and Kääb 2011;Giordan et al 2020) and other geomorphological processes (Leprince et al 2007). Another significant contribution…”
