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.
We have integrated the seismic detection algorithm into an Internet of Things (IoT
Using stable isotopes, we want to investigate how a changing light quality could affect plant functioning and what mechanisms underlie these responses, especially when light interacts with other environmental factors.
Stable isotopes have been widely used in ecophysiological studies of the gas-exchange
The main objective of SnowInflow is to reduce errors in inflow forecasts for hydropower producers during the critical snowmelt period. SLF will contribute with improved physics-based snow models and associated data assimilation schemes.
Also, physics-based snow models have become useful operationally, and can in combination

Many long-term interdisciplinary projects have been successfully carried out since
This project sets out to revise both the basis upon which global glacier changes estimates are computed, and the way these estimates can be interpreted. This will be done by harnessing recent advances in obtaining globally-complete glaciological data, and by including some hitherto unaccounted processes into global glacier projections.

Using advanced dendrometer technology, we aim to unravel drought stress and growth patterns in European forests. By developing new analysis methods and leveraging a network of research sites, it seeks to pinpoint areas most vulnerable to drought across Central Europe.
Through advanced analytical techniques, we have identified consistent shrinkage thresholds
The aim of this project is to better understand the dynamics and triggering mechanisms of mass movements in a changing climate.
