This project investigates the thermal and mechanical effects of water in rock fractures in mountain permafrost regions.
hydrostatic pressure levels, rock wall temperatures and thermal permafrost rock models
Testing the value added of knowledge co-production among natural hazard researchers, natural hazard managers and local experts to achieve a shared understanding of future regional mass movement risks.
natural hazards management and scientists have specific knowledge, resp. mental models
In diesem Projekt wird untersucht, inwiefern sich die räumliche Voraussage von Waldpflanzenarten und Pilzen unter Einbezug hochaufgelöster Bodenkarten verbessern lässt.

This research aims to gain a mechanistic understanding of the role of tree species interactions on tree plastic physiological responses to heat and drought stress. It combines an experimental climate manipulation with tree seedlings and fieldwork in a mature forest subjected yearly to hot droughts.
Models predict a continuous rise in temperature and more extreme precipitation over
This project explores the specific impact of VPD and temperature increase on tree water use and mortality. It also investigates the potential damages of using X-ray MicroCT to track embolism in living trees.
The results of this work will improve predictive forest dynamics models and assist
