WSL Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research SLF

Research Interests

I am involved in several of the numerical models that are developed by the institute, both developing the models, using them and managing their operational deployments. These models include the multi-layer, energy balance snow model SNOWPACK, the Alpine surface processes model Alpine3D and the meteorological input/output preprocessing library MeteoIO. I also do my own research using these models (see the publications list).

Models and tools

Most of the models and tools that are developed in our group are available under an Open Source license on our software forge, at https://code.wsl.ch (no need to register). However, if you want to create issues or fork these models, please register (and inform us by email so we can validate your account). Some of our models have their own web site with extensive documentation, releases, etc:
