Assessing the impacts of climate change on snow avalanche-induced risk in alpine regions

DOI

By using hazard scenarios based on CH2018 climate projections and the RAMMS avalanche model, we generated large-scale hazard indication maps for future avalanche hazards. By employing the open-source probabilistic risk assessment platform CLIMADA, along with building data and vulnerability functions, we estimated risks for the present time and two future time frames: mid-century (2060) and the end of the century (2085). An uncertainty and sensitivity analysis complemented the study to account for potential fluctuations in model assumptions. The data contains the hazard information and data used for the Climada risk analysis.
