About
Franziska Glueer is a leading geoscientist whose research focuses on landslide dynamics, high-alpine paraglacial processes, and the intricate interactions between glacial retreat and slope instability. Her most impactful contribution is the detailed analysis of the Moosfluh Landslide in Switzerland, where she documented the dramatic, unanticipated acceleration of a rock slope in 2016—a key event that exposed the valley bottom and revealed how glaciers can destabilize adjacent rock masses. This work, published in 2019, has garnered 83 citations and is considered a landmark study in progressive landslide evolution. Glueer is also recognized for advancing monitoring techniques in extreme environments; her 2021 paper on robotic total station monitoring in the Great Aletsch region addresses the significant challenges of obtaining high-precision displacement data under harsh climatic conditions. Her research has profound implications for hazard assessment in alpine regions undergoing rapid deglaciation. By combining field-based observations with innovative instrumentation, Glueer has established herself as a critical voice in understanding how climate change drives geomorphic hazards, making her work essential reading for students and researchers in geomorphology, engineering geology, and natural hazard science.
