"As temperatures rise faster in the Alps than elsewhere, not only are glaciers shrinking, but the permafrost that held the rock together in the summit regions is disappearing. The result is massive rock falls and landslides. A journey to meet… [weiterlesen]

With more than 4 years of real-time monitoring data from the Hochvogel early warning system, we answer what controls the preconditioning of massive rock slope failures and what will most likely be the final trigger. By correlating slope displacements… [weiterlesen]

Every two years, the VAO Symposium facilitates the exchange of the latest research findings and future collaborative research pursuits among members and interested individuals. The symposium emphasizes productive interdisciplinary collaboration among… [weiterlesen]

The TUM Chair of Landslide Research was participating in the International Conference on Permafrost (ICOP2024) from June 16-20 in the lovely scenery of Canadian Whitehorse, Yukon. The conference focusses on the different aspects and research… [weiterlesen]

Global warming has a profound impact on the frequency and severity of natural hazards globally. This effect is particularly noticeable in the Alps, requiring new strategies for prevention and mitigation. The pressing issue of "Natural hazards in a… [weiterlesen]

The five fastest runners of the Landslider Team AlpHa Alphas reached a time of 1:56:02 over 5.5 km, being way faster than last year. The second team AlpHa Betas did an amazing job as well, with 2:16:00 being in the top 30! All results can be checked… [weiterlesen]

We were taking part at the General Assembly of the European Geoscience Union in Vienna from April 14-19 2024. We contributed with 11 oral and poster presentations about permafrost, debris flows, lahars and landscape evolution modes. Check out our… [weiterlesen]

What happens when a rapid, sediment laden flow (hyperconcentrated flow) is forced through a narrow and deeply incised bedrock gorge? In the case of the event in June 2020 in the Höllental-gorge, the geomorphic changes were even visible by eye.… [weiterlesen]

Simon Mühlbauer joined the TUM Landslide Research Group as a PhD student working on alpine permafrost bedrock. He completed his BEng in Civil Engineering at the OTH Regensburg and his MSc in Civil Enginnering at the TUM. As a PhD student, his… [weiterlesen]
