Avalanche safety in road traffic: In winter 2023/24, the SLF tested a new laser scanner to assess the risk of avalanches to traffic routes with promising results. Read more: ((slf.ch/en/news/lasers…)) Remote Sensing @ WSL #SLF #SLFDavos #CERC #remotesensing #avalanche #laserscanner

The Swiss Institute for #Snow and Avalanche Research (SLF) is developing a #laser system to better assess the risk of #avalanches on traffic routes. Read more 👉 buff.ly/3Wo7cYV // WSL Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research SLF

This week, six children visited the #SLF as part of the "Ferienpass" (holiday pass) to find out more about #snow and #avalanche research. Among other things, they learnt how snow crystals are formed and examined them in the cold laboratory. Thanks for the visit! 📷️ M. Heggli

Die #Biodiversitätsinitiative wirft Fragen auf: Wie geht es der biologischen Vielfalt in der Schweiz? Wo besteht Handlungsbedarf? WSL-Fachleute geben Antworten: wsl.ch/de/news/fragen… Sciena – Swiss Science Today @SCNATCH Forum Biodiversität Schweiz #biodiversität #naturschutz

Today's visit at Gries #glacier was disillusioning. After record winter accumulation, we could not imagine seeing all this snow disappearing so soon! But we're there now, another year of mass loss is ahead. Not yet dramatic, but it might become if summer heat persists. GLAMOS

Higher resolution #climate data boosts 🌨️#snow cover❄️accuracy in models by up to 52%! This shows the importance of fine-scale climate in #climatechange impact studies, especially in 🏔️mountainous regions like Switzerland.
