Landsat and Ikonos satellite data from 1976 to 200 1, topographic maps beginning in 1893 and ground measurements were studied. Results show that though satellite images significantly underestimate the width of the Pasterze Glacier tongue due to the presence of morainal material on the surface, they provide an excellent way to measure the recession of the exposed-ice part of the glacier tongue. The rate of change of the terminus as determined using satellite data is found to compare well with ground measurements. Between 1976 and 200 1, Landsat-derived measurements show a recession of the terminus of the Pasterze Glacier of 479 +113 rn (at an average rate of 18.4 m a-') while measurements from the ground showed a recession of 428 m (at an average recession of 17.1 m a-I).

  • Decadal Sediment Yield from an Alpine Proglacial Zone Inferred from Reservoir Sedimentation (Pasterze, Hohe Tauern, Austria)
    Erosion and Sediment Yields in the Changing Environment (Proceedings of a symposium held at the 161 Institute of Mountain Hazards and Environment, CAS-Chengdu, China, 11–15 October 2012) (IAHS Publ. 356, 2012). Decadal sediment yield from an Alpine proglacial zone inferred from reservoir sedimentation (Pasterze, Hohe Tauern, Austria) MARTIN GEILHAUSEN1, JAN-CHRISTOPH OTTO1, DAVID MORCHE2 & LOTHAR SCHROTT1 1 Department of Geography and Geology, University of Salzburg, Hellbrunnerstrasse 34, A-5020 Salzburg, Austria [email protected] 2 University of Halle-Wittenberg, Institute of Geosciences and Geography; Von-Seckendorff-Platz 4, D-06120 Halle, Germany Abstract Reservoir sedimentation over more than five decades enabled the quantification of subrecent sediment yield from the glacierized Pasterze catchment, a 40-km2 basin located in the Hohe Tauern Mountain range in Austria. Sediment yield is highly variable over an order of magnitude (1.5 to 16.7 × 104 t/year) with an average of ~ 6.3 ± 0.5 × 104 t/year resulting in a total sediment export of approx. 340 × 4 10 t of mainly fine grained sediment (D50 Ø coarse silt). This is equal to specific sediment yields (SSY) ranging from 0.4 to 4.2 × 103 t/km2/year (Ø 1.6 ± 0.1 × 10³ t/km²/year) at a total of 85.6 × 10³ t/km² in the 54 years studied. No significant correlation is found between annual data sets of sediment yield, discharge, glacial retreat and hydro-climate. Based on multi-temporal geomorphological mapping, a sandur (former proglacial lake) and a braid plain are identified as key landforms within the proglacial zone modulating sediment yield.

    Die Entwicklung von supraglazialen Spaltenstrukturen und Entwässerungssystemen an der Gletscherzunge der Pasterze zwischen 1998 und 2012 Diplomarbeit zur Erlangung des Akademischen Grades eines Magisters der Naturwissenschaften an der Karl-Franzens-Universität Graz vorgelegt von KULMER Bernd Karl, Bsc am Institut für Geographie und Raumforschung Betreuer: MMag. Dr. Andreas KELLERER-PIRKLBAUER-EULENSTEIN Graz, Mai 2015 Eidesstattliche Erklärung Eidesstattliche Erklärung Hiermit erkläre ich, diese Arbeit selbstständig und ohne unerlaubte Beihilfe verfasst zu haben. Ich versichere keine weiteren, außer den genannten Hilfsmitteln verwendet zu haben und sämtliche, inhaltlich oder dem Wortlaut nach, anderen Werken entsprechenden Inhalte, durch Angabe der Quelle gekennzeichnet zu haben. Datum Unterschrift 2 Vorwort Vorwort Bereits als kleines Kind war meine Faszination für Schnee und Eis für kaum jemanden in meiner Umgebung zu übersehen. Als ich dann im Jahr 2000 das erste Mal auf der Franz-Josefs Höhe war und den spektakulären Blick auf den Großglockner und die Pasterze genießen durfte, wurde tieferes Interesse, das über die Beschäftigung mit Wintersport und Bergsport hinaus geht, in mir geweckt. So war es wenig verwunderlich, dass einige Zeit später die Reaktion von Gletschern auf die Klimaerwärmung, Thema meines Maturaspezialgebietes in Geographie und Wirtschaftskunde wurde. Im Zuge meines darauf folgenden Bachelorstudiums in Erdwissenschaften lernte ich viele begeisterte BergsteigerInnen kennen, mit denen ich meine Freizeit in und auf den Bergen verbrachte und immer wieder Touren in vergletscherten Gebieten unternahm. Seit dieser Zeit war für mich eigentlich immer klar, dass meine Abschlussarbeit etwas mit Glaziologie zu tun haben wird. Mein Interesse für diese Thematik vertiefte sich im Laufe meines aktuellen Lehramtsstudiums in Geographie und Wirtschaftskunde mit Bewegung und Sport.

  • Europe's Battery: the Making of the Alpine Energy Landscape, 1870- 1955
    EUROPE'S BATTERY: THE MAKING OF THE ALPINE ENERGY LANDSCAPE, 1870- 1955 A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History By Marc D. Landry II, M.A. Washington, DC April 2, 2013 Copyright 2013 by Marc D. Landry II All Rights Reserved ii EUROPE'S BATTERY: THE MAKING OF THE ALPINE ENERGY LANDSCAPE, 1870- 1955 Marc D. Landry II, M.A. Thesis Advisor: John R. McNeill, Ph.D. ABSTRACT This study examines the environmental history of hydropower development in the Alps from the mid-nineteenth to the mid-twentieth centuries. Analyzing government archival files, associational journals, conference proceedings, and published contemporary material from several Alpine countries, it seeks to determine how and why Europeans modified the Alpine landscape to generate hydropower, and to explore the consequences of these decisions. I argue that during this time period, Europeans thoroughly transformed the Alpine environment, creating what I call "Europe's Battery": a gigantic system for storing hydropower and distributing it on a continental scale. This study shows how nineteenth-century innovations in energy technology contributed to a dramatic shift in the perception of the Alps as a landscape of "white coal." It demonstrates how at the outset of electrification, Europeans modified Alpine waterways on an unprecedented scale in order to tap into the power of flowing Alpine water. I show how after the turn of the twentieth century, Europeans took advantage of the unique mountain environment to store water, first by converting existing lakes into reservoirs.
