Our DFG Weave Lead Agency Project kick-off meeting together with our partners from University of Innsbruck, Friedrich-Albert University Erlangen and University of Bern was held on Achensee. By amphibious investigation of landslide deposits in and around Alpine Lakes, we want to answer how alpine hazard magnitudes and frequencies respond nonlinearly to environmental forcing. Lake sediments provide long-term records (in our case 10 000 years) as a sound basis for anticipating Alpine hazard frequencies in the forseeable future under various scenarios of climate change.
