Avalanche risk under present and prospective climate change: experimental modeling and mathematical models for risk mapping.

Purpose of the project is the mapping of snow avalanches risk, little investigated and yet tremendously important in the Alps nowadays under climate change. A PhD student, and BS/MS students will carry out original research, aimed at supporting development of guidelines, and regulations for avalanche
risk evaluation, including hazard mapping under snowfall extremes, impacts of present and prospective climate variations, and assessment of structural damage.
