The range of topics include e.g. geomorphological mapping, assessment of geomorphic process rates based on multi-temporal LiDAR data, rock fall and debris flow modelling, quantification of sediment budget (or parts of it), assessment of glacier change due to climate warming, etc.Methods include e.g. remote sensing, GIS analysis, geomorphological mapping, DGNSS-measurements, Electrical resistivity tomography (ERT), drone surveys.Tasks include:
1) Introduction “How to design your own research projects?”
2) Presentations on study area and methods
3) Pitch of research ideas
4) GIS-, R- and remote sensing studies
5) Field work campaign (10-15 August 2026, staying at Wiesbadener Hütte)
6) Presentation of results
7) Final scientific report
