Research activities in the Water & Climate working area include:

• the development of innovative flood-risk models and their application in risk analyses
• the evaluation of technical solutions for protection from flooding
• the simulation of the melt flow of snow and ice and their changes over time and
• the development and application of new methods for determining the volume of water stored in the snowpack.
