My firstname is Nasrin and I am a Ph.D. student at the University of Lausanne, Switzerland, and study in niche, habitat suitability, and distribution modeling, mainly at the level of species, but also of biodiversity, communities and ecosystems. My projects focus on spatial prediction of essential biodiversity variables (EBVs) for bird species in The Western Swiss Alps that driving the distribution of species and their assemblages, or on more applied aspects, such as climate and land-use changes, and rare and threatened species management.

From the 9-16 November 2018, M. Jaboyedoff visited at LERN University of Laval Prof Locat, Dr A. Blais-Stevens, Dr C. Cloutier and Dr D. Turmel to focus on our project of book in French about Landslides which will contain approximately 30 authors and have 33 chapters. Two third of the chapter are now written in their first version.  

Prof. Jaboyedoff as a Vice-dean visited several times University LAVAL in Québec in order to setup an international associated laboratory (Laboratoire International Associé (LIA)) between the Universities of LAVAL, INRS, Neuchâtel and Lausanne: Laboratoire international des systèmes hydrogéologiques complexes (LISHyC).

Jaboyedoff participated to IDRiM 2019. The objective was mainly to be informed about the trend in risk management, unfortunately, we missed the deadline for submission, but M. Jaboyedoff act as reviewer for papers.

Emmanuel Nduwayezu and François Noël from the group participated to the Journée des Aléas Gravitaires (JAG) in Nice – Sophia-Antipolis on October 8 to 10 2019. It was a great opportunity to exchange about many topics related to natural hazards and rockfalls. Early results from the ongoing analysis of the data from the rockfall experiment performed near Barcelonnette in 2018 were presented:

Application préliminaire du comportement d’impact observé sur de réelles de chutes de pierres à la simulation 3D sur modèles de terrain très détaillés

It was a great pleasure to spent days of the field with Profs M. Chigira S. Kojima in Septmber 2019. They are now studying the deep-seated gravitational deformation in the Val Bedretto in Ticino. Huge slope deformations are visible in that region. This is the opportunity to compare to other type for such slope movements. The collaboration will continue the next years.

We have been very lucky and honoured to host the 15^th LARAM school 1st @ UNIL, from 2 to 13 September 2019 on the request of the team of the University of Salerno. We organized this summer school with our PhD students, which brought together around thirty PhD students and post-docs from all over the world. Nearly 30 teachers among the best experts on the landslide risks have taught during these 15 days. It was a great success. 4 PhD of UNIL participated.
