02/05/2014 - A busy Friday at EGU for TUM Landslide research


With two 'Rockfalls, rockslides, and rock avalanches' sessions scheduled for the annual European Geosciences Union meeting on Friday the 2nd of May, the TU Landslides group will be particularly busy. Alongside two presentations earlier in the week, members of the group will be involved in seven posters and two oral presentations throughout the day. Check the timetable below to see where you might meet them.
