The ExtremeThaw project is working to enhance our understanding of rapid permafrost thaw in Switzerland’s alpine regions, helping to shape effective response strategies.
how thawing permafrost may impact alpine ecosystems and the services they provide have

If you are interested in ants, I have the perfect project for you!
In this project, funded by the Swiss Agency for Development Cooperation (SDC / DEZA), we propose to apply large scale hazard indication mapping algorithms to the Himalayan province of Uttarakhand. Our goal is to identify unstable rock/ice masses and perform thermo-mechanical simulations – at the large-scale – to predict the danger of rock/ice avalanches, such as the recent event in Chamoli.
All of these events hence have disastrous consequences for people and infrastructures
Arctic PASSION will address the urgent need for coordinated and accessible Earth observation and information services for the Arctic region.
current pan-Arctic observing network still remain fragmented, disconnected, or have

order to quantify this effect on a large scale, we depend on rockfall models, which have

During my Internship, I have worked on hydrological model comparison under climate
In gut ausgerüsteten Freiluft-Versuchsflächen und Labors führt das SLF zahlreiche Experimente zu Schnee, Lawinen und anderen Naturgefahren durch.
Snow surface area and density have been retreived from these datasets and compared
In global land surface models (LSMs) the earth’s climate system is approximated by splitting the earth into many grid cells.
