Abstract
Despite the high potential of remote sensing for information acquisition about remote and inaccessible regions, several relief-induced factors hamper or even prohibit the use of spaceborne imagery. These factors, geometric as well as climatic ones, are listed and briefly discussed. Approaches to overcome these problems are set forth. Two case histories about snow avalanche mapping in the Alps using ERS SAR and mudflow (jökulhlaup) mapping in the Himalayas using Metric Camera and SPOT XS data are described.
