Seminar by: Michael Krautblatter (Technical University of Munich, Germany):
Alpine hazards in a changing climate and their anticipation
About Michael Krautblatter: Krautblatter has been conducting research into natural hazards, landslides and permafrost systems since 2004. His main research areas focus on the non-invasive quantification and monitoring of permafrost in unstable rock and soil slopes, the quantification of magnitude, frequency and interconnectivity of landslides and the anticipation of landslides based on thresholds, mechanical models and an understanding of the systems involved. Theory, field, laboratory and modelling based research is currently being performed within the framework of international projects in the Alps (i.e. the Zugspitze) and in Arctic environments. The current focus of the new TUM landslides group is the long, mid and short term anticipation of landslides in alpine regions.

The GeoHyd seminars are normally held in Auditorium 2 in the Geology Building, Blindern (map) but it is also possible to follow some of the seminars on Zoom.
Videolink to the lectures will be sent to the e-mail list geohyd-alle@geo and geohyd-info@geo. If you want to subscribe to the geohyd-info@geo mailing list send an email to Anita Sørlie.
About the seminar series
The talks in GeoHyd Lunch Seminar Series are offered by the Section for Geography and Hydrology (GeoHyd), Dept. of Geosciences, University of Oslo. The seminars are announced as lunch seminars so bring your lunch if you want to.
The seminars are open for everyone interested, and especially students are welcome.
