Project: Subsurface precursors driving slope instability

My research objectives: Seismic monitoring detects underground signals indicating slip acceleration in weak areas, which is crucial for understanding the physics of catastrophic events like landslides. Observing these signals can aid in forecasting and mitigating such disasters.

Last News (Newsletter #5 - Fall/Winter 2024): 

I conducted fieldwork in Brinzauls, Switzerland, to retrieve a dense array of 30 geophones deployed for three months to study the dynamics of a slow-creeping landslide. With the local authorities evacuating the village again in anticipation of another rockslide from the steep terrain above, we redeployed the geophone array alongside two broadband stations to continue monitoring this critical hazard over the winter. I recently presented my research findings in a talk at the DGGM in Leipzig and in the GFZ-Grenoble workshop.
