Successful #excursion to the relicts of the disastrous #Trachtbach landslide above #BrienzBE🏔️ Our #LandslideAnalysis students are now #modelling the #hillslope stability using #Slide2; balancing the #driving and #resisting forces to test hypotheses on the #triggeringmechanism!

#Landslide, #Rockslide & #Rockfall 3 in 1 #Excursion! The #massmovement continues to impact local 🏘 Unique insights on the dynamics of the 📰-worthy #BrienzRutsch in Gemeinde Albula/Alvra by #CSDingenieure, #BürofürTechnischeGeologie, #Tiefbauamt @kanton_gr, @mariusch13, & Riccardo!

Ergiebige Niederschläge haben starke #Beschleunigung im oberen Schuttkegel ausgelöst. Spontane #Rutschungen bis in die Wiesen hinter dem Dorf sind möglich. 𝗙𝘂𝗲𝗿 𝗕𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘇/𝗕𝗿𝗶𝗻𝘇𝗮𝘂𝗹𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗵𝘁 𝗸𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗚𝗲𝗳𝗮𝗵𝗿. #Sicherheitszone einhalten! #BrienzerRutsch

To celebrate 🎓🔚, our 2nd-year MSc students enjoyed 3-days of #Alpine #Engineering #Geological #Excursion🎉! We visited the 🪨🫨deposit of the Flims #RockAvalanche, hiked through the 🤯#Moosfluh #landslide & explored the #underground network of the #SaltMines 🧂🤓 in Bex

THAT . IS . SOMETHING ! 😳 A landslide occurred on tuesday night that dammed the Chilcotin river (BC, Canada). It caused a 2 km-long lake to form. Deposit area is 0.5 km². Pic/Lidar survey by Brian 1/

EG students applying their newly gained knowledge &🙌-experience of #satellite #radar by verifying #displacements🗺️retrieved from #DInSAR over #Triesenberg. 🔚 of an intense week on "Monitoring the🌎with📡from🛰️" covering real-🌍examples of landslides, earthquakes🫨 &🌋activity!

#phd #jobalert The Engineering Geology research group (ETHZ Engineering Geology) at ETH Zurich is looking for a doctoral candidate with a strong interest in rock mechanics and laboratory analysis. Have a look at jobs.ethz.ch/job/view/9216

Great #CAS_ETH Applied Earth Sciences excursion to Spitze Stei, #Kandersteg!🏔️🪨 Despite limited visibility due to weather, we gained invaluable insights into practical #EngGeo, thanks to C. Kienholz, D. Tobler (GEOTEST), & Prof. J. Aaron. #NaturalHazards #RiskManagement

📢Paper alert! Pfiffner provides details on the largest rock avalanche in the Alps🏔️, located in Flims, Switzerland🇨🇭, where the largest components attained hundreds of meters in size and still display the original bedding structure. Universität Bern More info:⬇️ researchgate.net/publication/38…

What a great excursion for our ‘Ingenieurgeologie’ BSc students visiting the construction site 🏗️ for a 14 story building with demanding 💧 retention conditions. Many thanks to Max Zeuner and Bibin Chakkalamattath from Jäckli Geologie for their detailed explanations! 🙏

Am #MonteRosa-Massiv mit der #Dufourspitze (4634 m), dem höchsten Berg der Schweizer #Alpen, ereignete sich am Wochenende auf der italienischen Seite ein grosser #Bergsturz. Die Gesteinsmassen donnerten bis auf 2380 m hinab.🏔🪨 (Bild: Luca Tondat) #Bergwelt #Schweiz #Italien
