The @SLAB_epfl group has moved to @ETH and @SLFDavos and has become #ALMO the Chair of #Alpine #Mass #Movements led by Prof. @johan_gaume.
But #SLAB will be back, in a different format 😉!

[Chair of Alpine Mass Movements @ALMO_ethz_slf]

Wishing you happy holidays from the #ALMO team! 🏔️🎉 Here's a glimpse of our team excursion in Brienz & Bondo, @Graubunden. In our team, we delve into the intricacies of alpine mass movements through modeling and experiments. Stay tuned!

Looking forward to a storm of ideas and good research! Session C08 Modeling, monitoring and predicting alpine mass movements. With @johan_gaume and others not on twitter. See you at @theIUGG https://t.co/bopom9DKha

[Johan Gaume @johan_gaume]

I am looking for 2 #PhD students and 1 #PostDoc researcher in the field of #alpine #mass #movements in my new group @SLFDavos and @ETH

[EPFL-ENAC @epflENAC]

After having published a breakthrough research about the #Dyatlov Pass Mystery, Johan Gaume, @epflENAC and @SLFDavos, and Prof. Alexander Puzrin, @ETH_en, will introduce a documentary directed by Matteo Born about the whole story on Thursday 13 October @EPFL. @SLAB_epfl

[Johan Gaume @johan_gaume]

First day working at @ETH x @WSL_research 😊. #PhD and #PostDoc positions related to #Alpine mass movements and #granular #mechanics will open shortly.

[Johan Gaume @johan_gaume]

The International Symposium on #Snow just started in #Davos. Looking forward to interesting presentations and discussions. Thanks @igsoc, @SLFDavos, Jürg Schweizer (here on the photo) and the organizing committee for bringing the snow and avalanche community back together 😊!

[Johan Gaume @johan_gaume]

The physics of snow slab avalanches similar to that of earthquakes. By expanding the scale for snow slab avalanche simulations scientists @epflENAC and @SLFDavos obtained a better understanding of the mechanisms underlying these events. https://t.co/uxgf1oPlfn

[JGR-Earth Surface @JGREarthSurface]

How do small cracks turn into gigantic submarine slides? Zhang and Puzrin (2022) use numerical simulations to elucidate this transition from initial failure to subsequent growth of weakened sediment.

Mathieu Schaer, former @epflENAC student, professional snowboarder and #environment #engineer @meteosuisse send me this video a couple of years ago. The analysis of changes in pixel intensity frame by frame, confirmed the outcome of numerical simulations. 🎥 (c) Titouan Bessire

[Johan Gaume @johan_gaume]

Numerical simulations based on the Material Point Method revealed a transition from slow (sub-Rayleigh) #anticrack to fast #supershear crack propagation. This transition may occur at distances about 3-5 meters if the slope is steep enough.
