Application and validation of long-range terrestrial laser scanning to monitor the mass balance of very small glaciers in the Swiss Alps

Due to the relative lack of empirical field data, the response of very small glaciers (here defined as being smaller than 0.5 km<sup>2</sup>) to current atmospheric warming is not fully understood yet. Investigating their mass balance, e.g. using the direct glaciological method, is a pre...
