TIRLab - Thermal Infrared Remote Sensing

In a joint effort from our group in collaboration with NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, we just published a preprint entitled "Airborne TIR imaging spectroscopy reveals debris-covered glaciers' surface lithology, emissivity, and their impact on land surface temperature". In this work we exploited a novel airborne hyperspectral TIR dataset over a debris-covered glacier to map different lithologies, link them to their source, and investigate the representativeness of commonly used emissivity values for supraglacial debris. The work has been submitted to Remote Sensing of Environment. The preprint is available at this link

Gabriele Bramati and Kathrin Naegeli's paper entitled "A Correction Methodology for Cross-Track Instrument Biases in Airborne Hyperspectral Thermal Infrared Data Over the Cryosphere" was just published in IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Letters. In the study, we developed a correction methodology for airborne hyperspectral TIR data over alpine glaciers and validated againts in-situ measurements. The publication is available at this link

We are very proud to announce that Ella Schubiger receives an UZH semester award for her MSc thesis entitled “Remote Sensing of Mental Health: The Burden of Heat Exposure in Switzerland. An Interdisciplinary Study Combining Earth Observation and Epidemiology.”.

Congratulations Ella, very well deserved!
