⛰️PhD @mariagrundmann.bsky.social explains the goals and challenges of her field research project in this new video by @slfdavos.bsky.social !
Extreme #temperatures in #mountain streams and rivers harm people, #nature and the economy. #SLF scientist Maria Grundmann is researching how they occur. Her findings should help to develop countermeasures.

The morning jitters have long since disappeared: the seven participants in #FutureDay already feel like real #snow researchers in their down suits. At the same time, they tried their hand at programming and soldering, made seed bombs and helped with housekeeping.⁠

Water causes #rock to shift on the #Matterhorn: #SLF research on the Matterhorn shows how meltwater in #permafrost can lead to rock slope instability – a consequence of #climatechange.

Depiction of reality: Just under 3.5 % of Switzerland’s land area is permafrost. #SLF ’s interactive permafrost map (photo), based on modelling, shows where permafrost is located and how cold it is.
