World of science | Snowpack stratigraphy from the air
Anna Siebenbrunner • 03/04/2024In the search for weak layers within the snowpack, Salzburg-based GEORESEARCH GmbH and Tyrolean company Lo.La Peak Solutions GmbH are testing a new method for recording snowpack stratigraphy as part of the STRATIFY research project. In contrast to conventional snow profiles, the data is recorded from the air, more precisely by drone and GPR (Ground Penetrating Radar). -

World of Science | CADS - Camera-based Avalanche Detection System
Anna Siebenbrunner • 02/17/2024Artificial intelligence (AI) has been on everyone's lips since the release of ChatGPT. AI is also increasingly being used in the field of avalanche warning and research. One current example is the CADS (Camera-based Avalanche Detection System) project, in which researchers from the Department of Computer Science at the University of Innsbruck have developed a model for recognising avalanches on webcam images together with Lo.La Peak Solutions GmbH.
