Robert Noyes

Robert Noyes currently consults on numeric risk evaluation for avalanche and has worked in applying radar monitoring technologies for mountain hazards at project sites around the world. He holds an MSc. in Environmental Management of Mountain Areas jointly from the Universities of Bozen-Bolzano and Innsbruck, where he researched statistical risk components secondary to avalanche hazards along Alpine roadways. Robert has over 10 years of practical experience in natural hazard risk reduction from avalanche, debris flow, and wildfire in Northern California before his graduate studies and work in the Alpine region.

Practical Use of Natural Hazard Monitoring Systems during Escalating Risk Scenarios

August 18, 2026

Mountain hazard regimes are fundamentally shifting. There is consensus not just among concerned scientists, but practitioners of risk management, that mountain hazard regimes are affected by warmer temperatures and intensifying precipitation events. The effects of these changes are further amplified by increasing population density in known hazard zones; with more infrastructure and human settleme ...[Read More]
