  Alpine Glacier Crevasses - Stubai, Oetztal, Grossglockner, Ortler, Piz Palue, 0.2m

The crevasse dataset provides information on crevasse locations at 0.2 m spatial resolution for selected regions in the Alps. Information on crevasse locations is important for mountaineers and field researchers to plan a safe traverse over a glacier. This dataset is generated based on a multitask deep neural network for automated crevasse mapping from high-resolution airborne remote sensing imagery. The model was trained and evaluated over seven training and six test areas located in the Öetztal and Stubai Alps. By simultaneously preforming edge detection and segmentation tasks, the multitask model is able to robustly detect glacier crevasses of different shapes within different illumination conditions with a balanced accuracy of 86%. To prove large-scale applicability, this dataset includes high-resolution crevasse maps for the entire Öetztal and Stubai Alps based on imagery acquired within the years 2019 and 2020. Furthermore, high-quality crevasse maps for all glaciers surrounding Großglockner, Piz Palü, and Ortler were generated for available imagery in the years 2022 and 2023, repsectively. The here presented datasets can be integrated into hiking maps and digital cartography tools to provide mountaineers and field researcher with up-to-date crevasse information but also inform modelers on the distribution of stress within a glacier.

Purpose
The glacier crevasse dataset provides detailed information on crevasse locations for the Stubai and Ötztal Alps, Großglockner, Piz Palü and Ortler at 0.2 m resolution. The dataset offers mountaineers and field researchers up-to-date crevasse information for safe route planning and informs modellers about the distribution of stress within a glacier.

Lineage

Statement
Apline glacier crevasse boundaries detected with a multitask neural network (HED-Unet) from high-resolution (0.2 m) aerial imagery.
Description

Processing: Crevasse locations are automatically detected by a deep neural network from official 0.2 m resolution orthophotos that were masked with most recent available glacier boundaries to focus on glaciated area only.

Quality Assurance: The prediction output of the deep neural network was validated against six test areas in the Stubai and Ötztal Alps. Crevasses are detected with a balanced accuracy of 86% and a F1-Score of 98% (79% macro-averaged).
