Proper knowledge of velocity is required in accurately determining enormous destructive energy of a landslide. We present the first physics-based general analytical landslide velocity model that incorporates internal deformation and external forces:… [weiterlesen]

Theresa Frimberger recently published a paper in ESPL together with Daniel Andrade (Instituto Geofísico, Quito), Samuel Weber and Michael Krautblatter. The Cotopaxi is an active volcano in the Ecuadorian Andes known for its potential to produce very… [weiterlesen]

Our group is presenting 11 topics at this years EGU (see list below). As every year, the EGU General Assembly will bring together geoscientists from all over the world to one meeting covering all disciplines of the Earth, planetary, and space… [weiterlesen]

We are showing strong participation at this year´s EGU General Assembly. See the list of our ten contributions with abstract links and scheduled display time in the next post.... [weiterlesen]

2020 was the 14th year of permafrost monitoring on the Zugspitze for the Chair of Landslide Research. Despite the strong Covid limitations, our measurements have been conducted as always monthly, requiring a big logistical effort and even harder… [weiterlesen]

The paper from the AlpSenseBench project to anticipation of the imminent Hochvogel rock slope failure and our monitoring and warning system is now online: Leinauer, J.; Jacobs, B., Krautblatter, M. (2020) Anticipating an imminent large rock slope… [weiterlesen]

After approval of the AlpSenseRely-project, members of the AlpSense-Team wanted to use the good weather in November for neccessary maintenance work at the measuring system at the Hochvogel summit before the winter. Unfortunately deep clouds made a… [weiterlesen]

Knapp, S., Mamot, P., Lempe, B., and Krautblatter, M. (2020) Impact of an 0.2 km3 Rock Avalanche on Lake Eibsee (Bavarian Alps, Germany) – Part I: Reconstruction of the paleolake and Effects of the Impact. Earth Surf. Process. Landforms,… [weiterlesen]

Verena Stammberger joined the TUM Landslide Research Group as a PhD student working on debris flows. She completed her BSc and MSc in Environmental Engineering at the TUM. For her Master’s Thesis “Debris Flow Potential in the Alps: Monitoring and… [weiterlesen]

We performed ERT measurements, Laserscans, mapping and more at the Hochwildehaus next to the Gurgler Ferner to understand the origin of the rock slope movements that cause damages of the Hut. [weiterlesen]
