The project proposed to define and implement an information service for monitoring of glacier and snow cover changes in Alpine regions. It was based on the combined use of radar and optical satellite multi-scale observations, ground data and geographic information. As a value added product, a dynamic snow-melt runoff model fed by remote sensing derived information for water resource management was tested and validated. The project achieved the following results:
