Admont woman wins National Park Research Award<\/h1>\n

Nora Landl receives an award for her work on the K\u00fchgraben in the Ges\u00e4use National Park.<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Nora Landl from Admont dealt with the K\u00fchgraben in the Ges\u00e4use National Park in her Master's thesis. She has now been awarded the \"Nationalparks Austria Research Prize 2022\" for her work.<\/p>\n

The former student of applied physical geography and mountain research at the Karl Franzens University of Graz investigated the effects of human activity on the geomorphological processes of the K\u00fchgraben in the Ges\u00e4use National Park. Modern methods allowed Nora Landl to create 3D images of the steep side channel of the Enns and to take a closer look at its development over the years. Under the expert guidance of Ao.Univ.-Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Sulzer, she analysed the processes at work there and the changes in elevation caused by the massive bedload transport in the K\u00fchgraben.<\/p>\n

\"As a geographer, my homeland, the Ges\u00e4use, offered me many research opportunities and I am happy to be able to understand its processes even more through my Master's thesis. The fact that this work also won a prize is just the icing on the cake!\", says Nora Landl.<\/p>\n

At the price<\/u><\/p>\n

The National Parks Austria Research Award is intended to encourage young scientists to write their university theses in an Austrian national park. Prizes are awarded for work that has been coordinated and developed in the course of writing in close exchange with the national park administrations. The prize money for completed Bachelor's theses is \u20ac 500, for Master's and PhD theses at universities and universities of applied sciences \u20ac 1,000.<\/p>\n

Results of the work in detail<\/u><\/p>\n

Based on the results, it can be stated that the stabilisation measures taken decades ago had and still have significant effects on the processes of the K\u00fchgraben. The massive bedload transport in combination with the gravitational mass processes clearly influence the measures at the foot of the slope by deforming and even displacing set shoring. The intersection of the different recording systems, of newly recorded drone data with historical aerial photographs in comparison with the airborne laser scan data as well as the vegetation mapping, represents a valuable part of this work and could lead to a well-founded statement about the effects of human activity on the geomorphological processes of the K\u00fchgraben.<\/p>\n
