  • 20 Years of Geodetic Monitoring of Dösen Rock Glacier (Ankogel Group, Austria): a Short Review
    Joannea Geol. Paläont. : 7-44 (06) 20 Years of Geodetic Monitoring of Dösen Rock Glacier (Ankogel Group, Austria): A Short Review 20 Jahre geodätischer Beobachtung am Dösener Blockgletscher (Ankogelgruppe, Österreich): Ein kurzer Überblick Viktor KAUFMANN Figures Abstract: This paper gives a condensed account of the geodetic measurements carried out at Dösen rock glacier during the last 0 years (995–05). The measurements were taken on an annual basis in order to determine the mean annual flow velocity of the rock glacier. The long-term monitoring program was interrupted only once, i. e. in 00. The geodetic network comprises 07 observation points located on the rock gla- cier (4 of which have been stabilized with brass bolts) and 7 stable reference points situated in the vicinity of the rock glacier. In 04 traditional surveying using a total station was replaced by satellite-based surveying (real-time kinematic - global naviga- tion satellite systems, RTK-GNSS). The flow velocities obtained reveal very well the kinematic behaviour of Dösen rock glacier over the course of time and are an excellent basis for subsequent climate change studies. The mean annual flow velocity of the fastest points varied between .0 and 5.6 cm/a during the observation period. The highest flow velocities (up to 65.9 cm/a) were recorded for 04–05, confirming the ongoing speed-up of this rock glacier. Zusammenfassung: Dieser Aufsatz gibt einen kurzen Überblick über die geodätischen Messungen, welche am Dösener Blockgletscher im Zeitraum 995–05, also über einen Zeitraum von 0 Jahren hinweg, getätigt wurden. Aus den jährlichen Messungen konnten mittlere jährliche Fließgeschwindigkeiten des Blockgletschers abgeleitet wer- den.

Active rock glaciers contain permafrost and creep slowly downslope often forming typical flow structures with ridges and furrows related to compressional forces. Rock glaciers are widespread landforms in the Austrian Alps (c. 4600). Despite the high number of rock gla- ciers in Austria, only few of them have been studied in detail in the past. One of the best studied ones is the 950 m long Dösen Rock Glacier located in the Hohe Tauern Range. This rock glacier has been investigated since 1993 using a whole suite of field- based and remote sensing-based methods. Research focused on permafrost conditions and distribution, surface kinematics, inter- nal structure and possible age of the landform. Results indicate significant ground surface warming of the rock glacier body du- ring the period 2007-2015 accompanied by a general acceleration of the rock glacier surface flow velocity (max.

A systematic analysis of the geographic variation of both valve shape and wing pattern reveals that the subspecies ofErebia euryale can be clustered into three groups, characterised by their valve shape. The adyte-group comprises the Alpine ssp. adyte and the Apenninian brutiorum, the euryale-group in- cludes the Alpine subspecies isarica and ocellaris, and all remaining extra- Alpine occurrences. The third group (kunz/-group), not recognised hitherto, is confined to a restricted, entirely Italian, part of the south- ern Alps. It comprises two subspecies: ssp. pseudoadyte (ssp. n.), hardly distinguishable from ssp. adyte by its wing pattern, and ssp. kunzi, strongly melanistic and even exceeding ssp. ocellaris in this respect. The ssp. pseudoadyte territory is surrounded by the valleys of the rivers Adda, Rio Trafoi and Adige, and ssp. kunzi inhabits the eastern Venetian pre-Alps, the Feltre Alps and the Pale di San Martino. The interven- ing region (the western Venetian pre-Alps, the Cima d'Asta group and the Lagorai chain) is inhabited by intermediate populations.

  • A New Glacier Inventory for the European Alps from Landsat TM Scenes of 2003: Challenges and Results
    Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2011 A new glacier inventory for the European Alps from Landsat TM scenes of 2003: challenges and results Paul, F ; Frey, H ; Le Bris, R Abstract: Meltwater from glaciers in the European Alps plays an important role in hydropower produc- tion, and future glacier development is thus of economic interest. However, an up-to-date and alpine-wide inventory for accurate assessment of glacier changes or modelling of future glacier development has not hitherto been available. Here we present a new alpine-wide inventory (covering Austria, France, Italy and Switzerland) derived from ten Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) scenes acquired within 7 weeks in 2003. Combined with the globally available digital elevation model from the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission, topographic inventory parameters were derived for each of the 3770 mapped glaciers, covering 2050km2. The area-class frequency distribution is very similar in all countries, and a mean northerly aspect (NW, N, NE) is clearly favoured (arithmetic counting). Mean glacier elevation is ฀2900 m, with a small dependence on aspect. The total area loss since the previous glacier inventory (acquired around 1970 ±15 years) is roughly one-third, yielding a current area loss rate of ฀2%a–1. Digital overlay of the outlines from the latest Austrian glacier inventory revealed differences in the interpretation of glacier extents that prohibit change assessment. A comparison of TM- derived outlines with manually digitized extents on a high-resolution IKONOS image returned 1.5% smaller glaciers with TM.

Weiters wird ein Überblick über die bisherige Blockgletschervermessung in Österreich gegeben, wobei für den Blockgletscher im Äußeren Hochebenkar (Gurgier Tal, Ötztaler Alpen, Tirol, Lage siehe Lieb 1996: Abb. 1, in diesem Band) die jüngsten Meßergebnisse mitgeteilt werden. Der Äußere Hochebenkar-Blockgletscher ist der in Österreich am zeitlich längsten und am besten beobachtete Blockgletscher. Er nimmt jedoch aufgrund seiner durch die Topographie stark beeinflußten Fließbewegung eine Sonderstellung ein. In Erweiterung des geodätischen und photogrammetrischen Beobachtungsprogrammes für Blockgletscher in Österreich wurde der Dösener Blockgletscher als neues Studienobjekt eingebunden. Die geomorphometrische Studienkarte 1:5000 „Inneres Dösener Tal“ war der Ausgangspunkt für weitere geodätische und kartographische Aktivitäten. Die kartographische Palette umfaßt eine Stereoorthophotokarte 1:30 000, zwei kombinierte Bild-Strichkarten im Maßstab 1:10 000, eine Detailkarte des Dösener Blockgletschers im Maßstab 1:5000, sowie eine thematische Karte der Fließbewegungen am Dösener Blockgletscher im Maßstab 1:5000.

  • The Origin of Hollow Tubes in Alpine Quartz Crystals
    3rd Symposion©Hohe Tauern National ofthe Park; downloadHohe unterTauern www.biologiezentrum.at National Park Conference Volume for Research in Protected Areas pages 245-249 ___________________________ September 15th to 17th, 2005, Castle of Kaprun___________________________ The origin of hollow tubes in Alpine quartz crystals Franz Walter, Karl Ettinger Abstract Needle-like hollow tubes penetrating quartz crystals are a particular inclusion phenomenon of Alpine mineral parageneses. From several locations of the Eastern Alps samples of quartz crystals with hollow tubes were investigated to find the previous mineral forming the tubes. In four samples solid inclusions showing the same crystal morphology like the hollow tubes were identified by X-ray and microprobe as anhydrite, CaS04. The formation and dissolution of anhydrite in the hydrothermal system of Alpine clefts is discussed. Keywords Hollow tubes, quartz, Alpine clefts, anhydrite, Carinthia, Salzburg. Projects: „Mineral documentation ofthe National Park Hohe Tauern": Nr. 21303-68/112-2003; areas Rauris and Stubachtal, Salzburg: duration 2003-2008. Nr. 3RO-ALLG-231/2-2003 area Ankogelgruppe, Zirknitztäler, Carinthia: duration 2003-2008. Project aims: Mineralogical investigations of Alpine mineral parageneses. Introduction The study of inclusions in minerals may reveal important informations about the history of mineral formation. Fluid inclusions are by far the most frequent in quartz and may contain liquids (H20, C 02, heavy hydrocarbons), gas phases (H20, C 02, CH4 and N2) and in saturated saline solutions also solids as for example NaCI and KCl. Their analyses point to the composition of the original liquid from which the quartz crystal was formed. Solid inclusions (minerals) in quartz are characterised as protogenetic (formed before the host quartz), syngenetic (formed at the same time) and epigenetic (formed after deposition ofthe host crystal).

  • Pongauer Waltzer
    PONGAUER WALZER Austrian PRONUNCIATION: PON-gow-er VAL-tser TRANSLATION: Waltz from the Pongau Valley SOURCE: Dick Oakes learned this dance from Gretel Dunsing. Jane Farwell introduced the dance to folk dancers in the United States. Morry Gelman taught the dance at the 1979 University of the Pacific Folk Dance Camp (now the Stockton Folk Dance Camp) and Ned and Marian Gault taught it at the 1979 Camp Hess Kramer Camp. BACKGROUND: Pongauer Walzer is from the Pongau Valley around the town of St. Johann im Pongau in the Austrian Tirol area between Innsbruck and Salzburg. Jane Farwell learned the dance in the winter of 1957-58 in the Harz mountain area of Germany around the town of Braunlage from an Austrian dance leader and resarcher. St. Johann im Pongau is located in the Salzach Valley of the Eastern Alps, between the Salzburg Slate Alps in the north, the Radstadt Tauern (part of the Niedere Tauern range) in the southeast, and the Ankogel Group (Hohe Tauern) in the southwest. Due to its picturesque setting, the area largely depends on tourism – Alpine skiing in the winter and hiking in the summer. A dramatic gorge called Liechtensteinklamm lies south of the city. MUSIC: Tanz (45rpm) SP 23068; Tanz (EP) EP 58615 FORMATION: Cpls in Open pos, M R hand joined with W L, free hand on hip, facing CCW around floor in LOD, in one or more cir.
