Mount Everest in 3D

Sentinel-2 snow-ice

Simon Gascoin, 28 octobre 2021

Because it’s a stunning place that I will probably never visit, I have spent some time to make a 3D visualization of Mount Everest using QGISthreejs plugin in QGIS. I draped the 24 Oct 2021 clear-sky Sentinel-2 image on a gapfilled version of the HMA 8m digital elevation model (like in this post on the Khumbu glacier..). Besides, its a nice way to look at the spatial variations of the snowline elevation on the slopes of Mount Everest.

I made this animation available on Wikimedia so feel free to download and re-use it!

Sentinel-2 reveals the surface deformation after the 2025 Myanmar earthquake

Sentinel-2 captured several clear-sky images of Myanmar before and after the 28 March 2025 earthquake. The animation below shows a 5-day apart sequence of images captured by Sentinel-2B and Sentinel-2C (10 m resolution) near the epicenter located close to Mandalay. The surface slip due to the earthquake follows the Sagaing Fault, a major fault in […]

Evolution de l’altitude de la ligne de neige au cours des 41 dernières années dans le bassin versant du Vénéon (Oisans)

Pour contribuer à caractériser les conditions hydrométéorologiques lors de la crue torrentielle qui a frappé la Bérarde en juin, j’ai analysé une nouvelle série de cartes d’enneigement qui couvre la période 1984-2024 [1]. Grâce à la profondeur temporelle de cette série, on constate que l’altitude de la ligne de neige dans le bassin versant du […]
