Job description
Improving our understanding of the mechanisms that govern debris flow motion is a core research topic in the Chair of Engineering Geology at ETHZ 
As part of this, the group collects and analyses an unprecendented set of field datasets 
The collected data includes timelapse point clouds, video imagery, as well as auxilary data including environmental parameter timeseries
This data is then processed to derive high temporal and spatial resolution estimates of displacement, velocity, strain and surface change, as well as the driving mechanisms
A large foundational dataset h...
