We use high resolution PlanetScope imagery to quantify the effect of proglacial lake expansion on ice dynamics in the Bhutanese Himalaya in order to understand rapid retreat in the region.
RESALP Project for the screening of geo-hydrological instabilities that affect high mountain structures of the Italian Alpine Club
RESALP is a CAI – CNR IRPI project for the screening of geo-hydrological instabilities that can affect Italian high-mountain refuges and bivouacs
Monitoring glacier lake outburst locations in Norway using Sentinel 1- and -2
Resent glacier changes has resulted in a growth of glacier lakes in mainland Norway. Some of the lakes have outburst floods and are regularly monitored using Sentinel data and field investigations.
Large-scale debris flow disposition and hazard index modelling under current and future environmental conditions
Presenting a national-scale approach to assess current and future debris-flow hazard by explicitly modelling disposition areas and runout with high-resolution data and RAMMS: Debrisflow software
Discussion on the Influence of Intermediate Principal Stress in Rock Deformation Analysis and State-of-the-Art Knowledge
The role of intermediate principal stress in the tendency for preferential propagation of cracks that affect domain stability as well as a tool to characterize them will be discussed.
Rockfalls in the Mont-Blanc massif (France) since the Little Ice Age. Quantification of volumes, frequency, and erosion rates by Terrestrial Laser Scanning and cosmogenic nuclides
Our study quantifies erosion rates in the Mont-Blanc massif, revealing accelerated rockfall activity due to the climate crisis, with significant implications for alpine hazard assessment.
Assessing the wind hazard of mountain forests through high-resolution remote sensed and climate future projections: a pilot study in the Italian Alps
The study uses high resolution LiDAR data and climate scenarios to assess the hazard of forest wind disturbances in the Cordevole catchment, Italy. Scenarios are performed for past and future climate.
Estimating complex topographic changes in mountain regions from 3D point clouds
We regard the topographic evolution change as the deformation of Riemann manifold surfaces to estimate rigid and non-rigid changes from point clouds for mountain monitoring applications.
Seed germination and seedling establishment in Alpine conifers following a prescribed fire
Fire and post-fire conditions affected seed germination and seedling establishment. Stone pine exhibited greater resistance while Norway spruce and European larch showed reduced seedling establishment
Spatiotemporal assessment of multi-hazard exposure for buildings in Austria
We assess exposure to individual mountain hazards and multi-hazards in Austria, highlighting regional differences in building stock development and emphasising the need for tailored risk management.
