Monitoring and imaging of Swiss glaciers using seismic interferometry

  • ETH Zurich
  • Glaciology (Prof. Walter, Prof. Farinotti)

Several studies showed that seismic interferometry methods based on ambient noise measurements can be used in characterizing subglacial glacier processes. This project aims at investigating the use of seismic interferometry in imaging and monitoring of Swiss glaciers.

Trends in snow accumulation on glaciers in High Mountain Asia

  • ETH Zurich
  • Glaciology (Prof. Walter, Prof. Farinotti)

This project aims at reducing uncertainties in high altitude precipitation using glacier flow as a proxy of snow accumulation.

Hundred years of glacier changes from historical aerial images

  • ETH Zurich
  • Glaciology (Prof. Walter, Prof. Farinotti)

The aim of this project is to use historical aerial images to reconstruct glaciers volume changes over a century.

Laboratory experiments of englacial water flow: hydraulics and thermodynamics

  • ETH Zurich
  • Glaciology (Prof. Walter, Prof. Farinotti)

R-channels are pipes incised into the glacier ice through which much of the surface melt water flows. This Master project aims at enhancing our current R-channel laboratory experiment with high precision temperature measurements. Work will include both engineering challenges and measurements.

Field experiments to determine hydraulic friction and heat transfer in englacial R-channels

  • ETH Zurich
  • Glaciology (Prof. Walter, Prof. Farinotti)

En- and subglacial water drainage is an important glaciological process. Amongst other, the water flow is understood to happen in so called R-channels. The aim of the thesis is to measure some fundamental parameters of these features directly in the field.

Creating a new subglacial water routing model

  • ETH Zurich
  • Glaciology (Prof. Walter, Prof. Farinotti)

Subglacial hydrology is often modelled with a simple, steepest-descent water-routing model. The aim of this project is to amend the underlying representations so that the effects of e.g. subglacial overdeependings can be accounted for. The new scheme will be implemented in a open-source framework.

Determine real-time glacier mass changes from camera images

  • ETH Zurich
  • Glaciology (Prof. Walter, Prof. Farinotti)

Glacier melt plays and important role in the hydrological budget, especially during the hot summer months. You will set up a framework to analyze real-time melt observed by on-ice cameras.

Is irrigation leading to glacier growth in the Karakoram?

  • ETH Zurich
  • Glaciology (Prof. Walter, Prof. Farinotti)

A number of observations acquired in recent decades have pointed at an anomalous behaviour of glaciers in the western part of High Mountain Asia. The goal of this thesis is to test a recent hypotesis for the deeper causes of this so-called "Karakoram anomaly".

Mapping supraglacial ponds using SAR data during the monsoon

  • ETH Zurich
  • Glaciology (Prof. Walter, Prof. Farinotti)

Supraglacial ponds are an important and dynamic constituent of debris-covered glaciers’ hydrology in High Mountain Asia, but their observation is limited due to cloud cover during the monsoon. The goal of this thesis is to overcome this limitation using Sentinel SAR imagery.

  • Master Thesis

Examining the debris cover anomaly at Nyanang Phu Glacier, Tibet

  • ETH Zurich
  • Glaciology (Prof. Walter, Prof. Farinotti)

Debris-covered glaciers in High Mountain Asia are expected to undergo slower melt than debris-free glaciers, which is not the case everywhere. The goal of this thesis is to study this debris-cover anomaly on a glacier with two flow units, one debris-covered and one debris-free.
