About

Water and ice are our passion at the Laboratory of Hydraulics, Hydrology, and Glaciology (VAW). We work in the domains of hydraulic engineering and structures, river engineering, numerical modelling, and glaciology. Our fields of activity are inland waters, hydropower, glaciers, natural hazards, river restoration, and river infrastructure. We contribute to the availability of clean and renewable electricity, to means of protection against floods and cryospheric hazards, to sustainable watercourses, and to the generation of new knowledge in the corresponding fields.
