Schmidt hammer - Opis:
- The aim of this article is to show the results of the lichenometrical and Schmidt hammer measurements performed in 2015 during theAMADEE-15 Mars Mission Simulation in the Ötztal Alps in order to test the capabilities of analogue astronauts and collect information on the geomorphic history of the study area since the Little Ice Age (LIA). The results obtained differ significantly from our expectations, which we attribute to differences in the ifeld experience of participants and the astronauts' technical limitations in terms of mobility. However, the experiments proved that these methods are within the range of the astronauts' capabilities. Environmental factors, such as i) varied petrography, ii) varied number of thalli in test polygons, and iii) differences in topoclimatic conditions between the LIA moraine and the glacier front, further inhibited simple interpretation. The LIA maximum of the Kaunertal glacier occurred in AD 1850, and relative stabilization of the frontal part of the rock glacier occurred in AD 1711.
