3D Laser scanners for geotechnical and glaciological applications



This is one of the latest acquisitions of the GRANDE Project: An advanced 3D Laser scanner. This equipment is an advanced tool for glacier mass balance studies, and similar applications, such as geotechnical studies.  Currently, it is being applied for glaciological studies in the Condoriri and Huayna Potosí glaciers, and has been applied to investigate the mechanisms of the mega-disaster occurred in Bolivia in February this year (shown in the video). Further applications are on the way and will be posted!!!
