Climate Change, Extremes and Natural Hazards in Alpine Regions Research Centre CERC

The software package for calculating natural hazard processes and the influence of protective measures has a new website.

At Stillberg near Davos, the SLF is investigating whether spruce and larch seedlings can establish above the current forest line.

Alpine plants display little variation within their species. This could put them at a disadvantage when it comes to climate change.

An international team of researchers has now been able to measure and simulate the resonant swaying of the Matterhorn.

Peter Bebi is the head of the CERC, the new SLF research centre combining expertise on climate change, extreme events and natural hazards.
