Sibylle Knapp and Flavio Anselmetti went out for a sediment coring campaign on Lake Eibsee. They retrieved nine cores at four coring locations through up to ~5 meters of lake sediments and rock material. The coring locations were chosen according to the reflection seismic profiles which were… [weiterlesen]

Michael received the King Albert Mountain Award on September 1, 2016 in a four-day reunion of the King Albert Memoral Foundation in St. Moritz and  a ceremony at the Diavolezza. The award is given every 2nd year to one researcher for outstanding contributions to the mountain world… [weiterlesen]

Vom 11. bis 12. August 2016 wurden am Gipfel des Hochstaufen (bei Bad Reichenhall) Folgemessungen des ClimChAlp Projektes durchgeführt (Klimawandel, Auswirkungen und Anpassungsstrategien im Alpenraum, Strategisches Interreg-III-B-Alpenraum-Projekt). Der Lehrstuhl für Geodäsie dankt dem… [weiterlesen]

Thomas Wunderlich and Michael Krautblatter organised a DFG-funded Round Table Meeting „Anticipative Signals for Alpine Hazards: Geosystem Configurations, Prediction and Forecast (AlpPred)“ inviting ca. 20 experts from the Technical University of Munich (TUM), the German Aerospace Center (DLR), the… [weiterlesen]

The Northern Calcareous Alps with their steep mountain torrents are affected by a major number of debris flows per year. In a new paper, appeared in Geomorphology, Andreas Dietrich and Michael Krautblatter investigated several debris flow fans at the Plansee (Austria) and reconstructed the… [weiterlesen]

The climate-induced degradation of permafrost can influence rock slope stability in alpine areas. Along the crest line of the highest mountain in Germany, the Zugspitze (2960 m asl.), we observe rock creep at the lower permafrost extension boundary in the northern Alps. Since August 2014, Philipp… [weiterlesen]

On the 14/06/2015 destructive debris flows occurred at the “Faltenbach” and adjacent torrents in Oberstdorf (Bavaria, Germany). The damages to infrastructure and houses amount to several millions. Andreas Dietrich investigated sediment mobilisation with a 3D laserscanner directly after the event.… [weiterlesen]

This thesis gives an overview of deformation measurements carried out in the Aggenalmrutschung monitoring network and its geology. Measurement projects of different institutions and the resulted elements of the point field in the geodetic network will be explained. Existing data from epoch-wise… [weiterlesen]
