A 100-day 3D print recreates Blatten rock avalanche path for risk testing

Executive Briefing & Key Highlights

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 Blatten. The experiments aim to improve computer models and help more reliably assess risks to settlements and infrastructure.
