A 100-day 3D print recreates Blatten rock avalanche path for risk testing
What happens when water, ice and more thunder down into a valley? Researchers from ETH Zurich and the WSL Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research SLF are investigating this using an accurate 3D model of the area around ...
Scientists 3D print rocks to study catastrophic avalanches
In a former military bunker near Davos, Switzerland, scientists at ETH Zurich and the WSL Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research SLF have rebuilt the Lötschental valley at a scale of 1:577 — complete with the village of Blatten, the Birch channel climbing toward the Kleines Nesthorn — and then deliberately sent a destructive torrent […]
Researchers have developed a very detailed 3D model of the Blatten Region (VS) to simulate landslides. The goal is to improve computer models to better assess natural hazards, said the Institute for the Study of Snow and Avalanches on Tuesday.
