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
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.
