Led by Dr. Franziska Glüer and Dr. Valentin Gischig, the geo risks group integrates geophysical measurements, seismic monitoring, numerical modelling, and engineering-geological and geotechnical techniques to investigate earthquake-induced hazards. Their research covers rockfalls and landslides, liquefaction, and landslide-induced lake tsunamis. The group develops geophysical site characterisation techniques for mountain slopes and lakes as well as tools to monitor changes in the seismic response, which are related to changes in the internal structure. Their work involves the monitoring of active slope instabilities across Switzerland, for example at Brienz/Brinzauls, as well as slow-moving landslide areas in Switzerland. The group also focuses on developing methods to predict and monitor liquefaction at sites in Switzerland. In addition, the group is also engaged in risk-related research at the BedrettoLab with a focus on modelling hydro-mechanical processes.
