In the
event of global warming also the glaciers
of the Himalayans have been retreating drastically.
A team of motivated scientists of the Dresden
University of Technology took a trip into
the region of Mount Everest and Lhotse, Nepal,
in order to gather information about global
glacier retreat which stands in close relation
to our drinking water supply and has a strong
effect on the future of our planet!

The Dachstein
Southface cave, Austria, may turn aut to be
one of the biggest caves on earth. The goal
of another team of scientists from the Dresden
University of Technology was to find out how
big the whole system is. This was realised
with a brand new 360° rotational laser
scanner. The size of the cave is important
for the scientists to find out how much water
can be stored during snowmelt.
