With the support of the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF), the Universities of Fribourg (UniFr), Lausanne (UNIL) and Zurich (UZH), and the WSL Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research (SLF) in Davos are launching the RoDynAlpS project -Rock glacier dynamics in the Swiss Alps, the first comprehensive and consistent study of past, present and regional evolution of rock glaciers in Switzerland. Through the combination of local and region-wide remote sensing analyses, integrative field-based studies and detailed numerical modelling, the project will provide a complete framework for understanding the dynamics of rock glaciers in the context of climate change.

RoDynAlpS is a 4-year project, starting in spring 2023. Four research positions are open for the entire duration of the project (3 PhDs and 1 post-doc) and distributed amongst the partner institutions.
