  • Imaggeo On Monday: Venice, the city of resilience, the city of mirrors and mirages
    by Maria Katherina Dal Barco on September 25, 2023 at 9:45 am

    High tide captured during the morning of November 6th, 2023 in Piazza San Marco, Venice (Italy). The MOSE system of mobile gates, designed to defend the Venice lagoon from tides up to 3 metres high, is not activated for tide levels below 110 cm. However, when the tide reaches 83 cm, the lowest point of St. Mark’s Square begins to flood. Photo […]

  • Researchers share insights from first-of-its-kind ice loss study of Antarctic Ice Sheet

  • Imaggeo On Monday: Tidal channel and saltmarsh in Germany
    by Stephan Sprinz on September 18, 2023 at 10:45 am

    “A tidal channel (‘Priel’) in a saltmarsh of the Wadden Sea, northern Germany.” Tidal channels are an integral part of salt marshes and form naturally, connecting the marsh with the nearest water body. These tidal channels provide an ecological bounty for a diverse range of life, from plants to invertebrates to birds and mammals – and […]

  • Imaggeo On Monday: Elegance with no functionality
    by Antonio Jordán on September 4, 2023 at 10:45 am

    The Montejaque dam, with its 84 meters of height, is one of the first vaulted dams built in Europe. Currently, it remains only as a vestige of one of the major hydroelectric projects by the “Sevillana de Electricidad” company. Preliminary studies for its construction began in 1917. Some of these studies indicated that the project was […]

  • Imaggeo On Monday: Layers of dust and snow
    by Stefan Winkler on August 28, 2023 at 10:45 am

    This image shows layers of dust and snow at the surface of Fox Glacier, Southern Alps, New Zealand. The glacier surface in the upper part of Fox Glacier’s ice fall is heavily crevassed and intersected into seracs. Individual layers of fresh and old snow are visible, some with visible thin dust layers at their surface. The more reddish dust […]
