RAMMS Rapid Mass Movements

Head: Dr. Perry Bartelt

Avalanches, debris flows and rockfalls are everyday occurrences in the mountains. RAMMS is a software package that allows these natural hazard processes to be evaluated and facilitates an assessment of the influences of protective measures. By way of RAMMS, the SLF places a valuable instrument at the disposal of practitioners and researchers alike.

Alpine mass movements are one of the main topics of the CERC research centre.

Topics

Ein durch Steinschlag gelöster Fels ist im Wald zum Stehen gekommen. Er hat einen Durchmesser von ca. dreieinhalb Meter. Zwei Forscher haben ihn erklommen und begutachten die Schneise, die er geschlagen hat.

Research of rockfalls

We research rockfalls, rock slope failures, hillslope debris flows and landslides to give people and infrastructure in valleys better protection.
