Research interests
Debris flows are among the most important natural hazards. Especially the Northern Calcareous Alps with their susceptible lithology are affected by a double digit number of major hazard events per year. In my research I examine the debris flow activity in highly productive alpine catchments. Futhermore, I am interested in different methods for debris flow volume estimations (recent and potential events).
Further research interests:
- Natural hazards in alpine regions in general
Laserscanning of debris flow torrents
Debris flow and rockfall modeling
Risk analysis and management
