Seasonal and long-term stress variations in a permafrost rock slope were analyzed using a five-year rock anchor load dataset, revealing progressive load decline under warming conditions.
Post-fire regeneration patterns in the European Alps
Post-fire regeneration in conifer and mixed forests of the Alps reveals patterns and dynamics in the short- and medium-term driven by fire severity, species composition, and environmental conditions.
Investigating topographic and morphological differences between shallow landslides in forests and open land using a semi-automatic mapping method with bi-temporal airborne laser scanning data
Analysis with bi-temporal ALS data showed that landslides in forests and open land differ significantly with regards to their scarp area and scarp width.
Freeze-thaw cycles as a triggering factor for rockfalls in the upper Soča Valley (NW Slovenia) on limestone cliffs
The study analyses the effects of freeze-thaw cycles on rockfalls in the Soča Valley and establishes a correlation between temperature fluctuations and the frequency of rockfalls, with peaks in spring
AlpsWatch – A crowd-based hazard information system for mountain environments
We present the “AlpsWatch” information system for collecting and sharing crowd-based observations of natural hazards and potentially hazardous conditions in high mountain environments.
The impact of glacier retreat, greening and a changing sediment supply on debris flows in two monsoon-dominated Himalayan catchments
We study how change in land cover affects debris flows in supply- and transport-limited catchments in monsoon dominated High Mountain Asia
Historical forest fires in the high Catalan-Andorran-Occitan Pyrenees: the Desbosiguem! dataset
This contribution presents the Desbosiguem! dataset, a cross-border compilation of the historical forest fires in the high Catalan-Andorran-Occitan Pyrenees.
Low-cost system for real-time measurement of ground movements in remote areas
Presentation of a low-cost and realtime monitoring system for ground movement based on GNNS and IoT
“Acts of God” or avoidable political hazards: The making of Sikkim’s catastrophic dam-break disaster and learning from it.
Dams are often lauded as engineering marvels, but dam breaks are conveniently clubbed into the category acts of God occurring under force majeure, shifting accountability from human to nonhuman causes
Monitoring permafrost degradation and its effects on high-mountain infrastructures
Remote sensing and in situ geophysics methods to monitor permafrost degradation and its impact on high-mountain infrastructure stability in selected case studies across the Austrian and Italian Alps.
