Starting 2025 with a small conference - nice to present our work on RGV at the DACH permafrost conference @slfdavos.bsky.social!

Grateful to be able to call this my workplace - some late season fieldwork picking up some GPS stations at Gruben cirque in the Saas valley - stay tuned to hear where we‘ll put them next!

Thanks for the question! Unfortunately i’m not that familiar with this special case, so i prefer not to say anything wrong. But the current warming does lead to an increase in instabilities in permafrost terrain, so yes, i would expect this to be a huge challenge for ski resorts in the future…

Trying to be more active on here - so for a quick intro: i‘m a first year phd at the University of Fribourg, Switzerland. My research focuses on Alpine periglacial environments and to be more precise, the influence of permafrost on the motion mechanisms on landslides (1/2)

Little joys of research: when your data matches the theory 🥳
