Studying #landslides, how they relate to #earthquakes, heavy #rainfall, and #urbanization.
@univie.ac.at
What a day!
The longest #MedGU25 session — 20+ insightful talks on #landslide research. Big thanks to all the amazing presenters and participants who stuck with us all day instead of wandering in Athens!

We will keep underestimating the scale and complexity of cascading #geohazards in high mountains without a fundamental shift in perspective, policies, and their implementation.☝️Developing scenarios to facilitate impact based forecasting schemes is a way forward

😱 Every second person dies from unnecessary risk-taking behavior during #disasters. We need to educate the public to reduce #disaster mortality further.
👉 #ClimateChange is kicking in; we are facing more and more socio-natural #hazards without prior experience.

Me too!

With several fellow researchers, I also got my certificate of membership to join the young academy of Austrian Academy of Science.

Looking forward to collaborating with all the members.

We thank #EGU25 landslide community for filling the room of our session:
👉NH3.6: Forecasting of Landslides in Space and Time
Once again, we were thrilled to host 18 fascinating presentations, showcasing studies from every continent—except Antarctica!
See you at #EGU26.

#Urbanisation has long raised #LandslideRisks. In #Medellín, we traced this link back nearly a century. #InformalSettlements face 2–3.5× more fatalities/km² than formal areas. Urban development strategies must consider #Geohazards.

I’ve been on a field trip around Medellín, Colombia for over a week now. Alongside amazing landscapes, we’ve observed a range of landslide-human interactions, both positive and negative. I'm very excited to keep exploring this with Edier Aristizabal, Anika Braun, and Johnny Vega.

👉 Join us in session NH3.6 "Forecasting of landslides in space and time" of #EGU25 to discuss recent research efforts tackling #landslide hazards.

#Monsoon rains are vital to feeding billions but pose great risks during extreme events, such as the 2022 #Pakistan floods. We reviewed recent research on monsoon precipitation, focusing on complex networks that may have helped predict #ExtremeRainfall.

There is no need to use full landslide polygons in hazard models! We use topology & morphology to separate source & runout areas with <20% accuracy.

How can we improve #landslide #Forecasting with state-of-the-art approaches encompassing aspects like nature, timing, and magnitude of events?
Let's discuss this question in the session NH3.6 "Forecasting of landslides in space and time" of #EGU25

📢 Time to prepare your abstract for the #EGU25
If you work on topics related to urbanization's impact on #naturalhazards and seek approaches to overcome barriers to disaster-resilient urban management
Submit to

#MedGU could become an exciting new platform for discussing #landslide research.
Our session with Tolga Görüm, Olivier Dewitte, and Anika Braun received remarkable attention, especially considering the small scale of the meeting.
Thank you to everyone who presented and contributed to discussions!

Field schools offer incredible learning! Since Thursday, we’ve been in the Himalayas with experts & students from @unipotsdamwater.bsky.social @gfz.bsky.social @iitroorkee
We saw many #landslides along roads, only a few seemed natural. The #glacial landforms here are stunning.

Instead of meeting to discuss "publish or perish" topic in Potsdam, we decided to have coffee in #NSIH2024 conference in IIT Roorkee.

Here's the open street map of the area. There are several sparsely distributed houses. Assuming openstreetmap underestimates the building footprint, and commonly missing rural houses, the fatality estimates may unfortunately be accurate.

Fellow #Landslide enthusiasts, this year we don't have a fall meeting in Europe. Join our special session on

Thank you to all presenters and participants of #EGU24 session NH3.6 "Space and time forecasting of #landslides"
For the entire duration, we constantly had about a hundred people in the room who were actively engaged.
👉 Don't miss the posters in Hall X4 from 16:15 onward.

☝️NEVER pass up a collaboration opportunity.
During #EGU22, I met Kushanav Bhuyan. We discussed a new project concept: an automated #landslide type classifier. I introduced the idea to Kamal Rana. Two years later, we have a working prototype:

Last few days to submit your abstract to our #EGU24 session. Join us in discussing the most recent trends and advancements in #LandslideForecasting.
January 7, 2024 at 2:49 PM
Don't miss out on the #EGU24 abstract deadline! Contribute to our session on space and time forecasting of #Landslides to discuss how to provide crucial lead time to avert the undesired landslide impact.

Late #Disasters clearly demonstrated that Natural Hazards are not entirely Natural. We contribute to their occurrences more than we think.
Join me and my colleagues during #EGU24 in session NH9.9 to discuss together the human role in causing "natural" hazards.
