Climate change on slope failures initiation in the Italian Alps
Institute From 01/09/2012
Background Climate change in the Greater Alpine Region is seriously affecting glacial and periglacial areas, with relevant consequences on slope stability. Cryosphere degradation, changes of the precipitation and temperature patterns…
Sediment management in Alpine basins
European From 01/09/2012 to 30/06/2015
Background The understanding of the changing equilibrium between sediment supply from upstream and sediment transport capability of a river is important for the success of integrated water resource management. In…
Monitoring system for the Hahnebaum test site
European From 01/09/2012 to 30/06/2015
