ExtremeThaw

In this ambitious project, we study ecological effects of permafrost thaw in the Swiss Alps.

Water in permafrost rock walls

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

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.

Crolli di rocce 2015

Nella torrida estate 2015, sulle Alpi svizzere si è registrato un numero superiore alla media di crolli di rocce, soprattutto nelle regioni interessate dal permafrost al di sopra del 2500 m s.l.m. Le dimensioni di questi crolli variavano da alcune centinaia sino a diverse decine di migliaia di metri cubi.

Crollo di rocca Piz Kesch

Da uno studio pubblicato recentemente emerge che la probabilità che si verifichi un grande crollo di roccia come quello che ha interessato il Piz Kesch nel febbraio 2014 dipende non solo dalle condizioni climatiche attuali, ma anche dall’interazione fra geologia e clima su scala plurimillenaria.
