Christian Huggel
Christian Huggel is a prominent environmental and climate science professor known for his research on the impacts of climate change on glaciers. His expertise was highlighted in recent discussions regarding the catastrophic glacier collapse in Blatten, Switzerland, where he noted that such a large-scale landslide had not occurred in the Alps for at least 125 years. He attributes part of the increasing frequency and severity of such events to climate change and rising temperatures, which have resulted in significant glacier melt in the region.
