Gletscherstände des Vernagtferner 1889-1969

The Vernagtferner in the Ötztaler Alps (Tirol) has been mapped after terrestrial-photogrammetric surveying by Sebastian Finsterwalder in 1889, Otto von Gruber in 1912, and Heinrich Schatz in 1938. The new, four-colored map in the scale 1: 10.000 enclosed in this issue was composed from aerial photographs of 1969. It was conceived as topographicaI map with additional geodetic and glaciological content. The methods of survey are explained and the means of cartographic representation are discussed.

Orthophotokarte SCHWARZMILZFERNER 1971

The Schwarzmilzferner, a small glacier in the Allgäuer Alps is, for the first time, investigated in detail with geodetic methods. The changes of the glacier since 1850 are reconstructed and doc- umented. The Orthophotomap Schwarzmilzferner 1971 shows approximately the current expan- sion of the glacier as a suitable basis for future work.
