  • Oct-Nov 2014, Nepal: Fourth field campaign of the WET Project
    On the follow-up expedition of the 2013 field campaign three scientists from University of Tübingen and TU Dresden spent again three weeks in Nepal to recover the data from the instruments installed above Halji Glacier in the previous year. Furthermore another camera system with a wider aperture angle for better observation of the whole glacier was installed. No outburst event has happened in 2014.
