The course provides a descriptive account of remote sensing of glacier mapping and monitoring: mapping glacier extents and snowline. Overview of global glacier monitoring initiatives such as GTN-G observing strategies, GLIMS and WGI is also given. The courses focus on glacier inventorying, and possibilities and challenges of remote sensing. The course provides the students with hands-on mapping of selected Himalayan glaciers on satellite images to explore the strengths and limitations of remote sensing of glaciers.
