SLF will contribute with improved physics-based snow models and associated data assimilation
Also, physics-based snow models have become useful operationally, and can in combination

Our project will evaluate effects of different forms of interactive involvement in river restoration projects on involved residents’ social learning and their psychological ownership and investigate whether this enhances acceptance of the river restoration projects.

We critically lack leaf temperature assessments because of the difficulties associated with these measurements. The project aims at developing a novel approach that reconstructs leaf temperature over multiple time scales using plant water isotopes.

Supraglacial debris considerably alters the response of glaciers to changes in climate, yet debris-covered glaciers are notoriously difficult to delineate due to their fuzzy boundaries and spectral similarities to marginal moraines. Their surfaces are often characterized by supraglacial ponds and ex
This theme of our research enables the development and application of models to better
This project will systematically collect the measurements of physical properties needed to constrain the a new generation of debris thickness inversion methods, enabling high-accuracy global estimates of supraglacial debris thickness and its rate of change.

If an avalanche is triggered, how large will it be? To answer this question, we will analyze unique data from field experiments to provide new insights into the process controlling avalanche release and avalanche size.
While in recent years computer models have been used to study this process, there
