UNveiling dynamics of Rapid Erosion through advanced Seismic Techniques

Floods and landslides are an intensifying hazard in the context of climate change that affected over 2 billion people worldwide between 1998-2017. In mountainous catchments, these processes play a significant role in rapid erosion contributing to landscape evolution. Yet, multiple barriers limit our current understanding of rapid erosion dynamics, such as the applicability of theoretical transport laws to complex real-world systems, poor understanding of the mechanism behind the initiation of rapid erosion processes, and sparsely distributed observations in time and space. The UNREST project will cut this Gordian knot by pioneering an interdisciplinary observational framework that…
