Swiss simulate landslides using 3D model of Blatten

Researchers at the WSL Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research (SLF) have created a detailed 3D model of the Blatten region in southwestern Switzerland to study mass movements. The experiments are intended to help assess natural hazards more reliably. The experiments are intended to improve the reliability of computer models which cantonal and municipal authorities will use in future to assess risks to settlements and infrastructure, the SLF announced on Tuesday. For the experiments, the la...
