Christian Scheidl

Christian Scheidl, Senior Lecturer at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna, specializes in Alpine Natural Hazards, focusing on debris flows, forest impacts on natural hazards, and climate change effects. His research combines field studies, laboratory experiments, and computational modeling to assess geohazard risks and mitigation strategies.

His work spans disciplines like Environmental Science, Geomorphology, and Bridge Engineering, with publications analyzing debris-flow dynamics, soil biodiversity impacts from timber harvesting, and afforestation for avalanche protection. Recent studies include debris-flow run-up measurements, woody debris effects on bridges, and climate change interactions with mountain hazards.

His articles reflect expertise in Debris Flow Modeling, Natural Hazard Mitigation, and Forest Ecology, often integrating Field Experiments and GIS-based Simulations. Key collaborations involve gWNGEF Forest and Natural Hazards and iANGF Alpine Natural Hazards.
