App records dangerous areas in the mountains

Rockfalls and debris flows are becoming more frequent in the mountains due to global warming. A crowd-based app developed by the University of Innsbruck is now being used to digitally record such dangerous areas and make hiking routes safer […]

App records dangerous locations in the mountains

A new web app called “AlpsWatch” is set to improve the recording and prediction of natural hazards in alpine regions in the future. The application, which is currently still in the test phase, allows experts to report dangerous locations in high […]
