Alpine regions are subject to dangerous rapid mass movements like debris flows, avalanches and rock falls. Applying intelligent algorithms to seismograms of such events we propose to increase warning and monitoring capabilities.

understanding of physical-biological couplings in flow
Ziel dieses Projekts ist die Weiterentwicklung von Modellen zur Vorhersage von Ausmass und Häufigkeit von Murgangereignissen in einem sich ändernden Klima.
Climate change impacts in sediment yield and debris-flow
Wir erforschen Gerinneprozesse und Wechselwirkungen zwischen steilen Gerinnen und den seitlichen Einhängen in Wildbacheinzugsgebieten.
vaw.baug.ethz.ch) Laboratory experiments on landslides flow
Landslides and debris flows are hazardous phenomenon in Switzerland and worldwide. We combine field measurements, numerical modelling and laboratory experiments to further our mechanistic understanding of the motion of these types of mass movements.

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.
avalanche events, such as the rock avalanche and debris flow
The aim of this project is to better understand the dynamics and triggering mechanisms of mass movements in a changing climate.
