Abstract
The increase in global temperature over the last years has caused the loss of a significant amount of ice bodies all over the world. In particular, mountain or alpine glaciers have shown higher sensitivity to climate variations compared to other glacial environments due to their elevation and reduced areal extent. The consequences of ice melting in Alpine regions include natural hazards, shortage of the water resource for drinking, agricultural and power generation purposes, ecological impacts and economic repercussions on local communities. In these areas, it is therefore essential to analyze variations in ice volume to understand the evolution of glaciers and their response to climate change, as well as to implement effective adaptation measures for these highly vulnerable spots.
This thesis aims to utilize acquisition and modeling techniques to estimate glacial thickness, with the goal of characterizing and monitoring the impacts of climate change on Alpine Glaciers
