Beginning of July Johannes hiked up the Hochvogel together with Lukas from TUM Geodesy for some maintenance and smaller installations. After a stay over night at the Prinz Luitpold Haus with its friendly hosts they had to carry heavy backpacks all…

We performed ERT measurements, Laserscans, mapping and more at the Europahütte in order to understand the rock slope at the Austrian-Italian border.

The snow-rich winter left traces and damages at the Hochvogel, so we had to do a lot of maintenance work with heavy equipment this spring. Some instruments need a repair but we could also install a new instrument. At the same time the GFZ Potsdam…

For the Campuslauf 2019 in Garching we joined forces with strong runners from the Engineering Geologists. While hoping for a top placement and winning a price, we ended up 4th in the 5,5 km team challenge, exactly like last year. It was an incredibly…

The Höllentalklamm (Höllental Gorge) at the entrance of the Höllental is one of the most scenic parts of the route to the Zugspitze. The TUM Landslide Group collaborates with the DAV Garmisch-Partenkirchen to develop a benchmark safety concept…

Benjamin Jacobs visited the LMU Volcanology Team for their multiparametric experiment within the Broadband Acquisition and Imaging Operation (BAcIO) at Stromboli. This operative workshop is a great collaboration of several international partners such…

Dr. Samuel Weber completed his PhD at the University of Zurich, Switzerland. Prior to his PhD studies, he received his BSc and MSc in Geography with Minor Physics and Glaciology. His research interest concerns heterogeneous environments and climate…

Doris Hermle, M.Sc., studied at the University of Innsbruck and Durham, England. She received her BSc and MSc in Geography with focus on Natural Hazards, Global Change and minors in Remote Sensing and Glaciology. Her research interest focuses on the…

Prof. Dr. Michael Krautblatter appeared in German TV two times last week with documentations from Kitzsteinhorn, Zugspitze and Hochvogel (in German). ARDalpha: Is the Zugspitze falling apart? BR: Extreme - The new normal? Climate Change in Bavaria

Theresa, Riccardo and Johannes (and other researchers) started their field campaign at Cotopaxi volcano. (Ecuador, South America). During their 3-week stay, they perform electrical resistivity tomographies (ERT) and seismic measurements to reveal…
