6th World Landslide Forum in Florence


We are delighted to have participated in the 6th World Landslide Forum in Florence, which brings together scientists, engineers, practitioners, companies, and policy makers to share progress in landslide risk reduction. Our team proudly presented seven contributions, reflecting our commitment to making an impact on the landslide discourse. Despite the warm days in Florence, we not only shared knowledge, but also enjoyed the collaborative atmosphere of the forum to connect with fellow researchers and strengthen our network. 

TUM Landslides contributed with the following topics:

1. Laserscan fusion of multitudinous stations in a touristic gorge revearls early-warning relevant rockfall detachment patterns (Hoellentalklamm, Bavarian Alps). Benjamin Jacobs, Paul Schmid, Michael Krautblatter. 

2. Deciphering controls of secondary lahars related to glacier recession and permafrost degradation at Chimborazo and Cotopaxi volcano, Ecuador. Theresa Frimberger, Michael Krautblatter.
