Her research focuses on snow-vegetation interactions, addressing both the development of observational techniques and improved representation of these processes in land surface models. The vPICO presented at EGU 2021 showcased the use of meter-scale forest snow modelling to bridge the gap between detailed observations of small-scale process variability and intermediate-resolution model applications.

A new research study, published in the scientific journal The Cryosphere by Swiss scientists, shows that large parts of the Swiss Alps could lose up to 70% of snow cover by 2100. However, if humans manage to control greenhouse gas emissions and limit global warming, only about 30% of snow cover will be lost.

They say that, if activities such as mining and construction of roads and buildings were regulated properly to ensure they are done in a safe way, most of the human-triggered landslides could be avoided. Education is also important. “We found several incidences of children being caught-up in slides triggered as they collected coloured clay from hillslopes, for decoration of houses during religious festivals in Nepal.
