Chair of Landslide Research

In September, we organized a stakeholder meeting at the Schneefernerhaus on the Zugspitze within the AlpSenseRely project. The roundtable with the topic "What needs do you see as users in forecasting natural hazards in climate change?" was an…

The Chair of Landslide Research joined the online European Rock Mechanics Symposium (EUROCK, 21-24 September 2021) with two articles, published in IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science. Here the two contributions High alpine…

Doris Hermle arrived two weeks ago in Rome at NHAZCA s.r.l. (Natural HAZards Control and Assessment), a startup company of La Sapienza University. NHAZCA is an international leader in the analysis and monitoring of natural hazards and large…

Matthias Hofner joined the TUM Landslide Group as a researcher working on the assessment of the rockfall hazard in the Partnachklamm gorge on behalf of the municipal council of Garmisch-Partenkirchen. He finished his B.Sc. in Geosciences and M.Sc. in…

The German working group Geomorphology is organising the Mid-European Geomorphology Meeting 2021, taking place Nov. 6-10 in Munich. Of course, the current situation still requires flexibility. All information can be found here. We are looking forward…

Carolin Kiefer joined the TUM Landslide Research Group as a PhD student working on debris flow dynamics in the Northern European Alps. She completed her BSc in Applied Geosciences at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology and her MSc in Engineering…

Electrical Resistivity Tomography data collected at the permafrost-affected and unstable Steintaelli Ridge (3100 m a.s.l., Matter Valley, Switzerland) in the last 13 years were inverted with a 3D time-lapse scheme in BERT. Thanks to the…

Congratulations to Dr. Sibylle Knapp for her outstanding thesis work on rock-slope failures impacting lakes, which has been awarded the Dissertation Award 2021 of the Munich Geocenter. Through her highly innovative methodological approach, Sibylle…

Our group is presenting 11 topics at this years EGU. See the list below and join our sessions! EGU21-8011 | vPICO presentations | NH6.7 Multi-temporal analysis of optical remote sensing for time-series displacement of gravitational mass movements,…

Erosion, as a key control of landslide dynamics, significantly increases the destructive power by rapidly amplifying its volume, mobility and impact energy. Mobility is directly linked to the threat posed by an erosive landslide. No clear-cut…
