Monitoring flood risk evolution reveals dynamic changes driven by climate, land use, and socio-economic factors, offering insights into extending risk monitoring frameworks to multi-hazard risk.
Vulnerable Alpine Infrastructure in Climate Change: AV.GEO.CLIM – Enhancing Risk Awareness and Trail Safety in Mountain Environments
The AV.GEO.CLIM project analyzes climate change-induced natural hazards in alpine regions, focusing on risk mapping, communication, and adaptation strategies to enhance both trail safety and managemen
Mitigating torrential risks in mountanous regions through forest management: A case study from Slovenia
Presented approach emphasizes adaptive management practices to mitigate torrential risks, with results demonstrating the importance of forest management in enhancing resilience and flood protection.
Simulating Avalanches in a Warming Climate: lessons from Wet and Dry Slab Events in the Western Tatras
As climate change increases wet snow avalanches relative frequency, results from simulations with the TRENT2D* model show that we must distinguish between wet and dry events to increase accuracy.
Bottom-up and decision-centric approaches to assess compound risks and associated impact cascades
We discuss approaches with an impact-thresholds perspective, combining the effect of management options with climate-, model- and scenario-uncertainties to assess cascading impacts of extreme events.
Investigation of landslide and rockfall impact against mitigation structures: a DEM- based study in an irregular mountainous terrain
Analyzing flow kinematics and impact dynamics of granular flow in mountainous terrain with realistic particle shapes within 3D discrete setting for optimizing landslide/ rockfall mitigation structures
Reconstruction of Consecutive GLOFs from Small Proglacial Lake with Possible Downstream Impacts in Central Himalaya
This study uses remote sensing data and hydrodynamic modelling to investigate the mechanism and impacts of consecutive GLOFs from a small proglacial lake in Central Himalaya.
Determinants for Rural Farmers’ Non-Migration Intention in High-Risk Areas: Evidence from a Rural Community in Southwestern China
Using questionnaire survey data of 155 farmers in Sichuan Province of Southwestern China, this article explores the determinants for farmers’ intention for non-migration.
Modelling local susceptibility to rapid mass movements in a changing climate
We model the local susceptibility of a large alpine catchment to rapid mass movements in a warming climate to better understand future sediment input into the fluvial system from erosion.
Monitoring Glacier Evolution and Assessing Glacial Lake Outburst Flood (GLOF) Hazard in the Bolivian Andes
We monitor changes in the population of Bolivian glaciers/glacial lakes at high spatiotemporal resolution. We assess GLOF hazard of the lake inventory and predict sites of future lake formation.
