∇ – GIS in glaciology – Data sources, processing and use (2021)
• Learn how to reconstruct and compare glacier extent from 1954 to 2012 using historical and modern geospatial datasets in QGIS.
• Practice hands-on GIS skills including shapefile editing, WMS integration, area calculation, and map layout design.
• Explore real-world climate change impacts on Alpine glaciers through an interactive case study using official data from the Lombardy Geoportal.
