WP1 Atmospheric and climate risks

WP1 Atmospheric and climate risks

ORCID number: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9408-4441

ResearcherID: H-6422-2014

Research on atmospheric risks on different time scales, including meteorological risks (extreme meteorological events such as intense rainfall and severe storms), risks associated with ongoing climate change (heat waves and meteorological droughts and long-term changes in short-term atmospheric variability), and risks related to the state of the ionosphere and the impact of space weather on it.

WP3 Natural hazards at the connection between the atmosphere and the Earth’s surface

ORCID number: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7773-7081

ResearcherID: S-3397-2016

Research on the interactions between the historical occurrence of hydrometeorological extremes and fluvial systems, the glacial environment, and critical ecosystems (mountain catchments, glacial environments, mountain lakes, forest ecosystems) and ongoing climate change impacts of these specific environments with variable resistance and resilience.

WP4 Geodynamic risks

WP4 Geodynamic risks

ORCID number: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5990-6021

ResearcherID: F-2994-2015

Research in the field of geomechanics ensuring the safety of hazardous material repositories using both experimental studies and the modeling of thermo-hydro-mechanical processes using hypoplastic models, studying the safety of structures under cyclic loading due to climatic phenomena, erosion and slope deformation, seismic hazards, and slow tectonics effects on surface deformations.

WP5 Geochemical risks and contaminations

ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4875-9345

ResearcherID: F-9514-2016

Research in the distribution, fluxes, and cycles of inorganic and organic pollutants in the Earth’s surface spheres (soil, water, waste disposal sites) and the role of climate-driven natural and anthropogenic processes (fires, droughts) on their mobility and risk for biota.
