A warming climate increases the risk of falling rocks in mountains, posing a serious threat to mountaineers, roads and railways - at least for the first few millennia. New research by @UniUtrecht Daniel @draebing 👇

Dominic's latest work on freezing soft materials is out, and we're super happy to have it covered in Physics: physics.aps.org/articles/v16…!
Check it out to see why freezing damage is more complex than you might think. @PhysRevLett@SoftLiv_Cornell

Successful fieldwork at Illgraben. We surveyed the catchment area with @ATMOSUAV Marlyn and read out rock temperature loggers to investigate rockwall erosion and controlling factors supplying material to debris flows. #landslides @UU_PhysGeog @UUGeo @WSL_research
As nature wants to advertise my talk on Saturday at the @PYRN_official workshop at the European Conference on Permafrost in Puigcerdà (E) that will focus on the role of periglacial processes including #permafrost on #rockfall and rockwall erosion. #EUCOP6 @UU_PhysGeog @UUGeo
We also thought of having an invited poster, with which we will kick off our poster 𝗦𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝟱.𝟮
Anne Mangeney will talk us through her poster about terrestrial and martian landslides modelling and seismic data to constrain flow characteristics and dynamics. 3/end #WLF6
We have 2 great invited speakers:
1) @Rock_Avalanches Stuart Dunning talking about supraglacial landslides from Antarctica to Alaska
2) Paula Snook (née Hilger) talking about Permafrost controlling large rock-slope instabilities in Norway
