In his new post, he will focus on the 3-D study of structures and modeling of the processes that led to the formation of the Alps and the Himalayas. Fabian Walter, who has worked on various projects at the SED since 2010, will stay on at ETH Zurich. As part of his SNSF professorship, he will carry out research at the Laboratory of Hydraulics, Hydrology and Glaciology on how glacial ice avalanches and glacial lake outburst floods can be predicted using seismic data.
