Provide a simplified Swiss-wide forest fire-related characterization of forest fuel types and calculate and analyse drought and fire-related remote sensing indices derived from multispectral Landsat and Sentinel-2 data.
Exploring the suitability of integrating remote sensing information into daily fire danger
Les installations à câbles en montagne sont régulièrement menacées par des avalanches et par la pression de la neige. En Suisse, l’Office fédéral des transports (OFT) demande donc, dans le cadre de la procédure d’autorisation des installations à câbles, une expertise sur les avalanches dont le contenu est décrit dans le présent guide pratique.

Development of a data-driven nearest neighbour model for the daily forest fire danger
project is to develop a data-driven nearest neighbour model for the daily forest fire danger
and perform thermo-mechanical simulations – at the large-scale – to predict the danger
