Various natural processes can pose a threat to settlement areas, railways, roads and other infrastructures.

Whether the problem concerns floods, debris flows, landslides, collapses, avalanches, earthquakes, or hazards resulting from thawing glaciers and permafrost, such as flood waves and glacial lake outbursts (GLOF): we specialise in assessing, analysing and quantifying the hazards and risks.
