Research Interests

 

  • Project "Determining the Insurance Value of Ecosystems (DIVES)" in Cooperation with WSL in Birmensdorf and SLF in Davos. Dynamically modeling the development of alpine protection forests under the influence of biotic and abiotic disturbances. Focus on gravitational mass movements such as avalanches and rockfall. Quantifying protection, risks and other ecosystem services. Developing management concepts for more resilient, climate-adapted protection forests.

 

  • Other research interests:
    • Image analysis for early detection of plant diseases.
    • Monitoring of animal populations with camera traps.
    • Ecology of arctic breeding birds and endangerment by climate change.
