I’m shocked and very sad about the terrible debris flood disaster in #Rasuwa, Nepal, and bordering China, yesterday morning. So many lives lost (likely more than 1000). Here an update on what we kno...

Fast schon unpassend wenn man die erschütternden Bilder aus Nepal/Tibet von heute morgen sieht. Danke SRF, Hörnlihütte, Air Zermatt dass wir schon so lange zu Gast auf dem Berg der Berge mit unserer Forschung sein dürfen. @uniinnsbruck.bsky.social @slfdavos.bsky.social www.srf.ch/play/tv/-/vi...

Der Klimawandel setzt Berghütten in der Schweiz zu. In Hitzesommer 2026 kämpfen viele mit grossem Wassermangel und bröckelnden Felsen. Wie blicken sie in die Zukunft?

And it is estimated as M5.69 given the newest seismic analysis by GFZ - wow. Likely not just a little big chunk of ice, despite the 1000+m fall height but for now this is speculative. geofon.gfz-potsdam.de/eqexplorer/e...

Landslide in Nepal - M4.4 - and we thought Blatten was big. What an enormous event and how cool that we can characterize and analyze this only minutes after it happened.

Surreal. July 19, 2003 - just four days after the big rockfall on the Hoernliridge I climbed Matterhorn for the first time. And then we thought it looks exceptionally barren and dry but in reality the Zmutt Rigde was still fully ice covered...

Across the entire European Alps large high-alpine mass movements are increasing. Check out the Observational Seismic Catalog of Alpine Rockfalls (OSCAR) to dive into the details. If you have data to contribute, contact us: oscar.uibk.ac.at

As temperatures rise it is not only glaciers that react to climate change in high-mountain areas. Snow and ice melting away create completely new landscapes. What was long covered is now laying bare. [1/3]

The Matterhorn is just bare, hot rock, temperatures at Solvay 4000 m asl are way up in the positive range for over a month with no cooling in sight. Where will this take us?

After a full day of non stop interviews on rockfall, glaciers, permafrost and Valais natural hazard management it’s nice to end the day in a peaceful mountain setting. Why is it that despite how many times you explain that rocks fall because of this climate thingy they still put it in the headlines?

Another magnitude 1.0 event was registered yesterday at 2025-05-29 12:34 in #Blatten. In the line of the 15 events registered over the past two weeks this one parks in at a moderate scale. And just another reminder that the mountain has not yet reached an equilibrium state yet.

Swiss Seismological Survey published a nice overview plot of the earth shaking and wobbling as response to first a series of rockfalls/rockslides onto the Birchgletscher and then finally more and more mumbling and rumbling leading to the final break-off.

The Birchgletscher collapse shook the Matterhorn! Not really a surprise but a fun fact that the collapse of the Birchgletscher is clearly visible at our high-altitude seismic station Solvay 4003 m a.s.l. up on the Hörnliridge (bottom left).
