The overall objective of this project is to contribute to the scholarship on plan evaluation. Current evaluation studies focus on plan performance and planning process performance, rather than actual material outcomes that are of pertinent interest to land-change science. Specifically, the project r

This project aims at improving the early detection of bark beetle damage in forests in the canton of Grisons as well as the prioritisation of management against bark beetle infestation in protective forests in the long term.
Alpine climate action plans, the project aims to collect, harmonize and share data, models
Spotlight leverages options to mitigate negative impacts on the ecological environment while meeting human needs for safety and well-being. With an interdisciplinary consortium of lighting engineers, ecologists, and social scientists, we contribute to an evidence-based debate on light pollution.
fully integrate the social evaluation and ecological impacts into light planner’s models
Understanding how ecosystems‘ carbon balance will adapt to global changes and land-use shifts is of major interest for society. Stabilization of organic matter in soil is essential for the Earth’s carbon cycle.

Rockfalls, debris flows and rockslides are gravitational mass movements that occur frequently in the mountains. Several SLF research groups are jointly developing methods to detect potential instabilities as early as possible.
surveys are carried out every summer to update orthophotos and digital elevation models
