Research Focus of the Institute:

The overall goal of the SLF’s research is to improve knowledge on alpine natural hazards, the alpine environment and climate - and the snow as one of the most dominating factors, thus offering a base for a sustainable use of the natural resources and for an integral risk management of mountainous hazards.
Both basic and applied research are necessary to achieve these goals. On the basis of the results of this research, policies and practices for effective and efficient risk reduction strategies and for an ecologically and economically sound use of the alpine environment are developed. With its past and current research, the SLF contributes towards an integral investigation of the Alpine environment and the processes involved in its development and modifications.
