About

PhD defense at ETH Zurich presenting new insights into the mechanics and microstructure of weak snow layers. The talk examines how weak layers form and fail under stress, with implications for avalanche risk and snowpack physics. The defense combines experimental observations with theoretical modeling to advance understanding of snow stability.
