Glaciology & Geomorphodynamics Group - 3G

In our research, we focus on cold mountain ranges and processes that result from the interaction between climate and the land surface. The related research topics are on glaciers, permafrost, and natural hazards. Special emphasis is on impacts from ongoing atmospheric temperature rise on glaciers, permafrost and slope stability. Besides extensive field campaigns, the integration of mapping, modeling and monitoring approaches is used at local, regional and global scales. Corresponding analyses of recent and relict forms and the understanding of the governing processes and involved materials, enable reasons and consequences of current and future climate change effects in cold mountain ranges to be anticipated.
