Progetti

Snowtinel: Sentinel-1 SAR assisted catchment hydrology: toward an improved snow-melt dynamics for alpine regions.

The recent increased availability of radar remote sensing products offers a great potential for improving our capability to understand and monitor snowmelt processes at high spatial and temporal resolution.

Dynamics of the rock slope instability "Spitze Stei"

The rock slope instability "Spitze Stei" constitutes a risk for the touristic infrastructure around lake Öschinensee and the village Kandersteg. Our project task will investigate the mechanisms which led to the slope destabilisation and analyse scenarios for slope failures.

CCAMM II: Cascading Processes

The CCAMM cluster "Cascading Processes"develops knowledge and models that can be used to anticipate future cascading events. At "Spitze Stei", Kandersteg BE, we study the cascading processes: rock slope instability, debris flow, rock/snow avalanches and lake outburst floods.

Climate and snow input at different spatial and temporal scales

Our project aims to collaborate with various proposed CAMM II projects within the clusters "Cascading processes' and "Early warning systems", providing meteorological, snow cover, ground temperature and snow melt data at different temporal and spatial scales.

CROMO-ADAPT

Climate change in Central Asia mountain regions will have significant impacts on water availability and the occurrence of natural hazards. CROMO-ADAPT strengthens the glacier, snow and permafrost monitoring systems and capacities in Central Asia, develops user-oriented climate information services, and supports the planning of adaptation measures to increase resilience to climate change.

Enabling Weather, Water and Climate Services in Tajikistan

Improved resilience of mountain communities in Tajikistan to natural hazards, climate change and climate variability through use of effective weather, water and climate services. Caritas led project with MeteoSwiss and SLF as partners.

CCAMM Task 1.0: Downscaling Meteorological forcings.

The WSL program Climate Change Impacts on Alpine Mass Movements (CCAMM) comprises projects covering a range of topics in natural hazards. Most investigations use models and thus require climate forcing data. The aim of this task is to provide meteorological forcings at the slope scale and in high temporal resolution.

Ein Schweizer Beitrag zu MOSAiC

Die Energieflüsse auf Meereis sind in der Arktis sind extrem variabel, die Wärmeübertragung zwischen Ozean und arktischer Atmosphäre sind eine der wichtigen Gründe dafür. Die Forschungsprojekt MOSAiC will nun herauszufinden, welche Strahlungsflüsse diese saisonal beeinflussen.

Water in permafrost rock walls

This project investigates the thermal and mechanical effects of water in rock fractures in mountain permafrost regions.

Rock sediment disposition

Recently, rock-ice deposits have come into focus for their potential to provide sources of secondary hazards and as an alternative water resource in a changing climate. The aim of this project is to model the evolution of the thermal regime of rock-ice deposits under future climate scenarios.
